When moving from the AppImage version of F-Chat Rising or F-Chat, there might be a chance the IndexedDB becomes broken and prevents the adblocker splash from dismissing. Fixed by Re/moving ~/.config/fchat/Partitions

! Recently resolved by upstream removing a dependency on keytar as of v1.24.0

Additionally, if this opens and it displays a blank page during the login screen, then please consult another god because keytar, the module that handles native password management, is missing somehow and I could not tell you why. I spent a night trying to figure out what happened and went mad after going back and forth between a working build and a newer, broken build to then suddenly working without any change in the PKGBUILD.

If this happens, please try removing and readding this package.

Stubbing my toe on a few idiosyncrasies, but be careful when installing. electron17 is a dependency but your AUR helper may get the AUR package under the same name, which builds Electron 17 which means building Chromium. As of July 18, 2023, there's a build issue with it as someone reported.

Instead you want electron17-bin which will download a pre-compiled copy of Electron 17. This is because both packages provide electron17 which I would like to depend on as someone might have a valid reason to have a built-from-source version.

You want to do something like, yay --asdeps electron17-bin or equivalent command to obtain electron17-bin as a dependency before you try to install this.

For a version that does not build from source, consider fchat-rising-appimage. This version will, in time, try to do the same and with current behavior on a on a separate -git variant.

Keep getting this error:

-> No AUR package found for electron<18.0.0

-> could not find all required packages: electron <18.0.0

Even after downloading the dependency manually.
