  Description     : AsciiDoc note-taking application

folio is a GTK 4 note-taking application. Notes are written in a strict
subset of AsciiDoc and rendered live; the library is stored in a per-user
SQLite database under the XDG data directory.

Note: there is an unrelated Snap-distributed app also called "Folio"
(github.com/toolstack/Folio, a GNOME markdown note-taking app), not
currently packaged for Debian. Flagging here to avoid confusion, as the
two are independent projects.

folio is useful as a lightweight, native GTK 4 alternative to
Electron-based or cloud-backed note-taking apps for GNOME users who want
a strict, error-checked AsciiDoc subset rather than freeform Markdown,
with all data kept locally in a per-user SQLite database and no account
or telemetry.

I am upstream and the packager, plan to maintain it myself as a
single-maintainer package (not part of an existing packaging team), and
am looking for a sponsor for uploads, as I am not yet a Debian
Maintainer or Developer.

Debian doesn't need toy apps with no users packaged by the upstream.
