Description
When it's loaded, it should check against https://hyperterm-updates.now.sh/api/versions and notify the user if it's the latest version, every time, as soon as it opens.
This is similar to how Chrome does it.

Research direction
Start with the About pane and inspect how it loads when opened. Check the versions endpoint at https://hyperterm-updates.now.sh/api/versions and determine how the current version should be compared and displayed. Done means the pane checks on every open and shows a positive tick for the latest version or notifies the user when an update is available.
