That would be great.
I have used Pencil in the past for simple mockups and at the time I
could not find another app that was as simple as Pencil and provided
equal functionality.
However, Pencil is an Electron[1] app. Debian still has not packaged any
electron app.
As far as I know, we are still far from being able to ship electron in
Debian.
I don't know how up-to-date it is, but this page can be used to track
the progress of packaging electron:
- https://wiki.debian.org/_javascript_/Nodejs/Tasks/electron
Having electron in Debian would allow for many other popular apps for
our users:
- atom[2]
- Signal[3]
- etc.
Well, you seem to know the state of affairs much better than me.
If it is coupled with packaging electron, atom and other particles as well,
then it can be a great project.
