Found this issue because I had the same idea, it is a really cool app :D

The project already provides a *.deb package

https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/releases

But it is not uploaded in Debian.

but there are a few issues

@jeremiah.foster If it is ok for you I would like to take a shot at this task as a weekend learning experience.

Finally found a package that I want so bad in my distro repos that i'll try to package it

this issue has special access rights (and seems not needing that) - was it perhaps created some custom way, not using the topmost template?

@joao.azevedo or @adrien.plazas Please consider adjusting access rights.
