Finally got the .deb built for the desktop app!
Now just updating the CLI ppa (https://launchpad.net/~writeas/+archive/ubuntu/writeas-cli), uploading the GTK app package, testing installation, and finishing up the download page on the site.
Actually, going to put everything under a single PPA: https://launchpad.net/~writeas/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
This instance is only for A Bunch Tell projects.
