### Problem Description
FreeTube is an excellent app, and seeing it has been in development and use for about 3-4 years, even if it is still considered "beta", for security reasons it makes sense to have checksum verification file(s).
I am aware of [issue #765](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/765) -- **but that was 3 years ago, the app looks and behaves pretty mature now**, I think it is time to reconsider.
Every software release is safer when checksum verification file(s) are generated during build.
Please add checksum verification files to the release (SHA256, SHA512, etc.)
I would like to be able to verify the integrity of downloaded files/binaries.
Example projects on github which are doing that:

Thank you!
