Great application, but what's with the 1 hour install duration on this BIN version, which is supposed to be precompiled? The installation duration should be the equivalent of the flatpak version, which is essentially instantaneous. Can you please fix this?

@Anagastes Maybe you should see this: https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine/blob/2ba637137839e41081ab3fe63b1a1ca609a35ac4/package.json#L56 .This version of the package was built from electron29, if you the other version of electron, it may cause something unexpect errors. But if you use the offical electron, just change electron29 to electron in /usr/bin/caprine.

is it perhaps possible to switch to the official electron package, which is automatically upgraded in the version?

I have now successfully tested v34 with caprine.

The advantage is that you don't have x versions of electron on your system...
