 👋 dear users / contributors! Public service announcement!

-the current maintainer, so _we_ are not doing any active development.

-But it's not dead! If YOU use it and want to see juicy features & fixes,
-PR welcome! In particular, #902 #831 #706 are three particularly annoying
-issues; help welcome on those (or [any other issue](https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues) that motivates you 🙂).
