I though installing the keyring also installs libsecret but it doesn’t seem so. That means we have to include libsecret into the AppImage via electron-builder.

perhaps, I am not sure.

Element, a popular Matrix client bundles libsecret, and it uses keytar too. libsecret should be copied to the appimage, because libsecret can analyze the keychain service which is available. If there is no libsecret in the first place, how can marktext communicate to gnome-keyring or ksecretservice. Am I right? so libsecret is a direct dependency of Marktext, but gnome-keyring is not a direct dependency of marktext.

Let me know if anything is missing / if you need more clarification 😄
