For anyone seeing it broken recently, It works when I downgraded both electron and re2 packages.
electron > https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/e/electron/ re2 > https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/r/re2/
I used electron 9.2.1 and re2 20200801

Due to the many issues people have been experiencing the package is now using electron v4, as that's the most recent version supported by the application.
The incompatibility issues with more recent versions run much much deeper, beyond what some simple patches can fix.
