Made a script to use electron-simple-updater. Interest in PR?

• Version: 17.0.1

• Target: mac/win/linux

I wanted a uniform API for auto-update, so I messed around with electron-simple-updater. With a proper updates.json file, electron-simple-updater works nicely with the artifacts published on GH releases by electron-builder, but producing one by hand is annoying. So I wrote a script to produce and upload the updates.json file automatically for me.

In my opinion, the uniform updates api, and lack of need for a mac updates server are big wins. Would there be interest in switching to use electron-simple-updater? If so, happy to polish this and create a PR so people could have an easy way to use electron-simple-updater.

Electron-simple-updater is merged into electron-updater. If you want to help, you can make PR to finish merge and support Linux. https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/wiki/Auto-Update

Oh, then why does it say on that wiki page that simplified auto update is not supported on windows?

Simplified auto-update is not supported for Squirrel.Windows.

Supported for NSIS, default target for Windows.
