Really dig this updater. I like it way better than the official AppImage one. Any progress on this issue. It's a cosmetic thing that could get in the way of adoption, which would be a shame

@luzpaz Thank you.

Yes, I've been thinking about it... The problem is that there is no markdown parser in C++ that can parse github's style of markdown, since it supports both html mixed markdown we have to write our own markdown parser which supports partial html in C++. Its going to be tricky. The one of official examples in the docs implement this using QtWebEngine which I think is a overkill for an updater. So I think if I have some time I might look for some other alternatives or write my own github flavored markdown parser.
EDIT:
Note: Also notice that the title of the AppImage is truncated FreeCAD_0
To solve this I have to use libappimage or role my own code to extract the desktop file from the AppImage and the icon too.. The desktop file can give a concise name of the program rather than the file name.

@luzpaz The latest version resolved everything you mentioned. Open a new issue if you feel something is missing.

It turns out Github had a free API to parse their flavor of Markdown. It was easy as a post request with our Markdown in question. https://developer.github.com/v3/markdown/
