The last one that caught my attention was the very popular https://github.com/boerdereinar/copyous which depends indirectly on https://github.com/gjsify/ts-for-gir, which is something we are going to need in Debian Gnome, but it requires quite some work before we get there. In comparison, your package isn't popular, is plain javascript code, has almost no deps (both are not showstoppers). It looks like it's using event keys to simulate user input (ctrl-v to paste, and keyboard events to type characters): that's too much of a hack to me. Also I'm concerned that it seems you are directly targeting Debian: there is no clipdeck extension on https://extensions.gnome.org/ ? In my experience, software without a user base is a bad candidate to be a Debian package. Last time I indulged a motivated developer (a good one, it was one of the creators of zig), he abandoned everything he managed to get uploaded. A good formation for him, a lot of time wasted for me and for Debian. I hope you understand the comparison. Jérémy
