Hi. What is the difference between this package and whalebird-desktop ?

@matthias.lisin, thank you for the good explanation! Yeah, I understand the problem with future electron updates...

@spsf64 That's a decision I struggle with for every Electron package I maintain. I went with electron 7 because it is used upstream and is available in the official repositories.

There is no big reason to use electron7. However, when Electron 9 arrives and the electron package is updated in the Arch repos, it might break the application without prior notice and I have to act fast to revert the dependency to electron7 or then electron8.

But since there are not many users right now, I can totally update it to electron.

@matthias.lisin, thanks for maintaining this! I tried to build with electron(8) just changing your pkgbuild and it works fine. Any reason to use electron7?
