[Add feature] AppImage build, and autostart

[fablevi]

Hello!

I love your work,!
I use flatpak version, but can you add appimage support to?
I see you have binary format, it probably not a big work to create an AppImage from it.

Can you add support for autostart (no like me doing to in the system settings, the app can choose if the user wants to autostart it), and if you can, add a setting to autostart without window. So if it starts, then the app starts without any window, it only appears in the appindicatiors.

Thanks!
(Sorry for the english)

Thanks for the detailed request! I put together an implementation for both parts on the claude/appimage-autostart-support-71ef7s branch:

AppImage

• The nightly release workflow now also builds stimulator-x86_64.AppImage and stimulator-aarch64.AppImage alongside the existing raw binaries, via a new scripts/build-appimage.sh helper (wraps the deno-compiled binary + desktop file + icon into a standard AppDir/AppImage). Like the raw binaries, it still relies on GTK4/libadwaita/libappindicator being present on the host system (nothing is bundled), so requirements are the same as running the existing nightly binaries directly.

Autostart

• New Preferences options: "Launch at Startup" and "Start Minimized". Enabling the first writes a standard XDG autostart entry (~/.config/autostart/io.github.sigmasd.stimulator.desktop); enabling the second adds a --minimized flag so the app skips showing the window on that launch and goes straight to the appindicator tray (with a safety net: if the tray somehow isn't available, the window is shown automatically so the app never becomes unreachable).
• This works out of the box for the AppImage/raw binary. Under Flatpak it additionally needs the sandbox to be granted write access to the real ~/.config/autostart (commonly done via a --filesystem=xdg-config/autostart:create permission in the Flatpak manifest) — that manifest lives in the separate flathub/io.github.sigmasd.stimulator repo, so it's a follow-up change there.

This is pushed to the branch above for review; let me know if you'd like anything adjusted.

Hello @fablevi sorry about the claude answer I'm just discovering how it works,
Thank you as well
You can test claude PR if you want seems reasonable #134 but I haven't really verified it yet
