It's time to fork some good projects
appimage is a complete utility that can download and integrate AppImages locally (the way my AppMan utility can do, but better). It also allows selection if there are multiple items. I have tested it and solved some minimal issues about dependences and some errors I got, by doing the fork of this project, at https://github.com/ivan-hc/appimagedl, I've also included some additional instructions and customized the default directories managed by this script. You can also install it as a support tool trough "AM" (recommended) and AppMan (not recommended because both can use ~/.local/bin as a $PATH). To manage the updates is recommended to install appimageupdatetool (better if through one of my two tools);

How do you (yes, you specifically) work with appimages?
I recently discovered AM App Manager, it's app manager for appimages that have system integration and you can update all your apps with one command. Take a look at it's catalog to see if your app is supported.

Install issue on PopOS using appImage
I use https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM-Application-Manager to install App image, to include Neovim. By default it currently installs Version 10.0 and creates the symlinks.

I'm sick of reading that among the disadvantages of AppImage is the lack of updates and a centralized repository!
I have been working on two CLI tools to install AppImage packages system wide and locall (they are AM and AppMan respectively). I've also written a website that acts as a catalog and a better source for downloading them all for real, https://portable-linux-apps.github.io !

ArchImage: my (experimental) side-project to convert Arch Linux programs to AppImages that really work on any distro, old or young... powered by Junest
In conclusion, I feel really confortable with docker/podman/distrobox/junest... but I also like a lot AppImage packages, so I'm trying to merge both. Something I learned all this time I use Linux is that there is no distro, no package format, no software... that can really satisfy my needs. The best hing I can do to solve this situation is to built it by myself (this is my main project, I named it "AM"). I spent two years to create what I like, after a decade as a common Linux user that uses what distro/package mantainers had to give, and this make me feel better. This last point is the main reason because all these distros and software solutions exists in GNU/Linux.

After two years of development on "AM", AppMan and many Appimage packages... I'm seriously considering giving it all up
I started writing AM/AppMan two years ago, it was just a custom script to install and always keep any Appimage package I needed updated to the latest version. Then become something much bigger.

I have developed my own Appimage package manager in full BASH, here are 3 different approuches to install the apps: xterm (1, the default one, allows to interact when prompted questions), less (2, clean but non interactive) or nothing (not clean). What is better? Have you got suggestions?
Sure https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM-Application-Manager I have already tried with lowercases words but I don't like that, that's why I've chosen uppercased text. "De gustibus non est disputandum", Romans said.

Portable Arch Linux packed into a single executable
I like containers, I've tried Junest and docker/podman/distrobox... also I work a lot with portable apps (see here) and I've also published a website for them (here) so I'm amazed on how you've built something that can merge them! I'll include it on my catalog (also I'm writing an installation script for it). Thank you!
- Portable-Linux-apps.github.io reached 1608 applications (about 1570 are Appimage packages), all with descriptions and links to the authors, sources... and installation scripts I wrote one by one.

After a long waiting and big cleaning of the code... "AM" Application Manager is back: 1596 installation scripts (i.e. about 1550 Appimage packages, all installable and updatable). And the uploading is not finished yet!

Official-Krunker.io-Client - The Krunker client is an installable, desktop-based version of Krunker.io for Windows, Apple Mac and Linux computers. It allows users to run and play Krunker outside of their browser, and can be downloaded by pressing the download button in the top right corner of the menu in game. Released to aid the competitive Krunker community, it can run at higher resolutions, frame rates, allowing for smoother and easier streaming or recording. Some benefits of using the client over the browser include: Utilities – While available in browsers via a script (which may lead to a hacker tag), the Krunker.io client has native support for added utilities. Improved Streaming and Recording Capabilities – As the Krunker.io client is handled as an application and utilizes one's GPU, recording and streaming is easier to manage.
