Confidence in open source SLP Wallets

Hey all,

I was looking at getting wallets that are Open Source and that support SLP tokens, since those are pretty cool! I found the slp.dev page for wallets and started looking into them, with frustrating results.

It seems like there is only one open-source wallet for the desktop platform, and a separate one for mobile.

Pokket.cash is the mobile wallet. Its README does not contain any build instructions or really any information. It contains no links to its URL https://pokket.cash. It also doesn't mention anything about community or any other public type of method of communication (except for email, but that's private). It just doesn't inspire confidence.

Electron Cash SLP is an even worse story. The link above which is linked from SimpleLedger's front page returns a 404. Additionally, the README of the github project is apologetically unchanged from the upstream Electron-Cash project. The entirety of the links all point to the Electron-Cash project. ESPECIALLY the releases links, etc. Lastly, not even the AUR has a package build of this, although there is an appimage that is built, which I guess is better than nothing.

I'm frustrated trying to convince myself that I won't run into issues down the road with these packages. This wouldn't be such a big deal with regular software, but I think we can all agree that wallet software is a bit more critical than an email client or terminal.
