Sparkle: A software update framework for macOS
There is one that is .NET and cross platform (incl. Linux) here: https://github.com/NetSparkleUpdater/NetSparkle (disclaimer: I am the primary maintainer of this repository).
For C++, WinSparkle works too: https://github.com/vslavik/winsparkle/

What tool do you use to create an installer for your desktop applications?
Yeah they’ve been gaining a lot of momentum from the refactor. We were using WinSparkle for awhile but it still only supports DSA signatures and required maintaining some P/Invoke code.

Sparkle: A software update framework for macOS
Also, as a different approach, to some degree Ferdium can act as a central place for various messaging platforms even if the integration that Pidgin (and Adium) and libPurple provided is not possible this way. Station is similar and a bit better but is in desperate need of developers. Both are FLOSS.

Is there a place to suggest software you'd like to be on the AUR? If not, let it be here!
I've moved on to Ferdium by the way via the ferdium-electron AUR package. I also use Tuta, Skiff, Google Messages and YouTube Music with it.

I'm on linux and use Ferdium - believe that they have a mac version. Prepare to be blow away my friend -- its pretty much "Pidgin"(if you're that old to remember) for any web based application. I have it synced to so many thing.
