Flatpak package

[orowith2os]

In working on obs-cmd, I noticed that it's a fairly niche tool, and the status of its development puts it into a bit of a weird situation with packaging - not to mention that it being in Rust makes some distros (Fedora) angry.

I'd love to help develop this (such that it's feature complete), and having a Flatpak package for it would help in getting it out to users faster.

If you're fine with it, I can submit obs-cmd to Flathub and automate the updating and maintenance of it.

I tried OBS via flatpak and I had issues with some plugins, so now I'm using OBS via AUR.

Yeah I'm fine with it if it do not add too many complexity/dependencies

I expect more to be using the OBS Flatpak, since that's the only one of two packages officially supported by OBS.

But also, an obs-cmd flatpak would work regardless of OBS package type, so long as the websocket exists.

can you add it to the CI ? So it will produce a flatpak package automatically at every release?

[orowith2os]

The flatpak would be automatically updated and released when this repo releases too, by way of Flathub's own CI.

I've noticed I can just grab the release excutable from here and run it on Steam Deck, luckily, but a Flatpak would make setup and updating a bit better on Deck, I think.

usually cli apps do not use flatpak, you can use the provided binary in sandbox
