Feature request: pop up a message advertising new releases

I found that I can check the latest release by making a request here: https://api.github.com/repos/EIDA/a10y/releases/latest.

But to compare that information with the version someone uses while the application is in use, I probably have to hardcode the current version somewhere in the code. So every time I push, I need to remember to update this information in the code.

This can work, does not seem ideal to me.

Any other idea?

A gitlab workflow should write the current release version in a file before building the application. this way, the app gets aware of it's version.
But it feels a bit cumbersome. Let's pause this feature for now.
