App is running, but I don't see it on the toolbar

I'm on GNOME Shell 3.28.1 and I've tried running the linux build. The app says app is running but I don't see anything.

I've also downloaded the source and run the app to the same effect.

General feedback/enhancements

1. The horizontal hashtags cannot be easily scrolled. To see more hashtags, you have to either select some text and drag to the right to "scroll" the list or expand the app window really wide.

2. After selecting a hashtag and clicking outside of the app window, clicking back into the app resets the selected hashtag. This can be especially annoying when having to do #1 (above) every time the window resets, just to select the desired hashtag. I'd like the option to filter articles with the hashtags I prefer, that doesn't reset when clicking out of the window, and then having a manual option to reset the filter.

:) Great work!

Add Build for Linux

There are currently no linux builds available. I took the liberty of building for linux64. Attached is a tarball of the build (via dropbox, it's too big for github attachment).
