Questions about installing
Platforms, updates and which package to pick
Will there be a Mac and an iPhone version?
Yes, both are in active development. There is no date yet, but they are coming. In the meantime you can use the web version from a Mac or an iPhone: it runs in the browser and installs like any other app.
Do I have to download every new version by hand?
Not on desktop: the app checks for updates and installs them itself. On Android, Google Play handles it, and on Linux it is Flathub or Snap, depending on where you installed it from.
On Linux, Flatpak, Snap or .deb?
Flatpak if you can: it depends least on your distribution and gives the fewest surprises. Snap is the alternative, and the .deb is there for when neither fits, with the catch that updates are then up to you.
