Hey, thanks for your ping, that means you read my mail, and i thank you for it.
I checked your changes. this release is the last one that uses yarn as dep manager. The next one will be using pnpm.

I won't say i'm interested to become a maintainer (mainly because i would say that i don't know what i'm doing), however, i'm a daily user of Session, and i'm trying to learn more about nix as a package manager.

Now i'll base my work on yours, and try to update it again on the latest release as soon as i am able to.

Feel free to ping me like you did, whenever you want !

Take care.

Damn, they changed the dependency manager again?

It definitely helps if you do the work of updating it, but I will work on it next week if you haven't finished that by then.
