    So I wanted to give Klevernotes a try tonight but:

    1. it doesn’t show up in Discover when searching for any of the terms Klevernotes, Klever Notes, or just klever. On the command line apt search klevernotes returns an empty result set.
    2. the install on Linux link on https://apps.kde.org/klevernotes/ doesn’t work either. It opens Discover but yields the error message Could not open appstream://org.kde.klevernotes because it was not found in any available software repositories. Please report this issue to the packagers of your distribution.
    3. I tried building it myself via the instructions on the GitHub repo but got stuck among the way. Building binaries is a bit beyond my expertise unfortunately.

    I’m on Kubuntu 22.04 with KDE Plasma 5.24.7 in case that matters. Can also file an official bug report as the error message suggests if you advocate for it.

      Thanks you for wanting to give it a try, and also to explain the issue clearly without being agressive, that really nice to see.

      Klevernotes is a new project (± 1 year old) and doesn’t have a package right now (working on flatpak). So it’s pretty normal to not find it in Discover nor apt.

      You guessed it right, you need to compile the project to test it.

      I can try to guide you on how to use kde-src build to build klevernotes, but that might be a bit overkill since it will build every dependencies (useful for devs, a bit less for user). Or I can let you know when the flatpak is ready.

        I’ll wait for the flatpak in that case. Too many other things I also want to do these days 😀.
