Introducing Mist: An AUR-helper like application for Debian and Ubuntu based systems
Mist comes into play just like you'd expect an AUR helper to. Like how you have makepkg on Arch Linux, makedeb exists for the Debian/Ubuntu side, which is also what powers Mist.

Installed WINE, Ubuntu commited suicide. Guess that's goodbye đź‘‹
This is why the makedeb, MPR, Pacstall, and una projects are so exciting. They could bring that robustness and ease of installation to Ubuntu. Hopefully some day the MPR becomes as popular as the AUR.

darktable CR3 build in AUR(archlinux)
If you are not on an archlinux(or arch-based) distro, there is a tool for converting the arch package into .deb. The ones I could find: - makedeb. - pacstall. This has a separate script for converting - https://github.com/pacstall/paconvert

[Product Release] Introducing the Debian User Repository: The AUR for Debian distros (More info in the comments)
Well first things first: makedeb. This was a result of me loving Arch Linux's simple and efficient PKGBUILD format for creating packages. Got tired of Debian packaging, so I make Arch's work.

Instant Messaging: XMPP or Websocket
So XMPP is an awesome protocol in theory. Also many issues you're trying to solve are probably already solved in one of the specifications and I personally think that XMPP is missing out on clients. Some clients are nice (i.e. Conversations or Dino) but they are not as appealing as Telegram or Discord.
