Task Description
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.

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.
