It seems there is already a zettlr in the misc folder.

@tfmoraes, could you take a quick look at this PR?
Do you think we could add the pandoc and latex stuff to your zettlr.nix ?

I don't know if it is easy to also substitute the electron in the appimage with the nix electron. Do you ave any insights on that?

Hi @beardhatcode. I've created a branch to try to package Zettlr directly from source code using yarn2nix. See it here https://github.com/tfmoraes/nixpkgs/tree/zettlr-1.7.5_yarn . It's launching Zettlr but the GUI doesn't seem correct.

i took a look at it. The reason I used the deb rather than the repo was because the deb is the result of yarn run release:linux. This step creates a asar file which basically contains all the JavaScript except electron (and pandoc), so that is convenient.

I took a look at your code, and it might be because you are using electron instead of electron_9. I can't try it myself atm.
