osdbattery is (probably) useless and broken so Conky did compete because It is still unmaintained and unsupported over 14 years ago (last released version 1.4 on August 23, 2005), and should be removed per anti-abandonware rule at the packaging guidelines.
Also, the default config file contains non-libre/free Microsoft font Verdana as X11 font format property in font variable.

I use Nextcloud for syncing, although, I would normally not ask for this, due to Nextcloud’s appimage being available, but for some reason the latest version doesn’t work on hyperbola. So... yeah.
Usually Nextcloud’s appimage works regardless of what packages you have, so I guess in essence... add Nextcloud-client package to this system is my request.

Packages | Any | Feature Request | Very Low | Low | [vobsub2srt] please add package | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
here is the description from the website
https://github.com/ruediger/VobSub2SRT
VobSub2SRT is a simple command line program to convert .idx / .sub subtitles into .srt text subtitles by using OCR. It is based on code from the MPlayer project - a really really great movie player. Some minor parts are copied from ffmpeg/avutil headers. Tesseract is used as OCR software.
vobsub2srt is released under the GPL3+ license. The MPlayer code included is GPL2+ licensed.
The quality of the OCR depends on the text in the subtitles. Currently the code does not use any preprocessing. But I’m currently looking into adding filters and scaling options to improve the OCR. You can correct mistakes in the .srt files with a text editor or a special subtitle editor.
Attached is a working PKGBUILD for the latest stable version.

Task Description
I would like this, because, it looks even better than xfce4. It does use an older qt3 though, BUT, they are maintaining QT3 and improving it themselves.
Plus, its more lightweight than xfce4 and maybe even lxqt too without looking like crap like lxqt and yet still is better than a WM.
I know you don’t like stuff that is abandonware in any sense, but given its being maintained, I hope you will add it.
But let me know.

community/pinta 1.6-2 [installed]
Drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It's goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users
I am not quite sure what the policy is in Hyperbola on this one. I am referring to the reference to the proprietary software Paint.NET. That is for me steering users to verify what is Paint.NET – we shall not be doing it. It should be removed from description.
I am fine if authors have in documentation something explaining how they started software project. But I am not fine in descriptions which are public and accessible on Internet to have such references to illegitimate proprietary software.
Just to clarify, the word “alternative” is just fine in this description and need not be removed.

The expression “BSD-style license” leads to confusion because it lumps together licenses that have important differences. For instance, the original BSD license with the advertising clause is incompatible with the GNU General Public License, but the revised BSD license is compatible with the GPL.
To avoid confusion, it is best to name the specific license in question and avoid the vague term “BSD-style.”

Another point is that often such access would required handling the proprietary javascript. I do not know if that is the case here.
