Description

congratulations, panwriter 0.8.0 is great.

I like to use it on a Chromebook and it compiles fine, but does not have support to call pandoc

it seems when issuing yarn install the current version looks for darwin / osx / apple versions of fsevents and a few other packages (unsupported platform warnings) and does not realize that the container is a Linux environment

the appimage gets built and can be started (on an arm64 Chromebook), supercool. just the export using pandoc is not working.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failed Pandoc export on the ARM64 Chromebook and inspect the yarn install warnings about darwin/OS X packages. Trace the existing export path and platform detection; done means the AppImage can invoke Pandoc successfully on ChromeOS/Linux.
