docs: Discord isn't a great example for an electron app
Metadata
Current evaluation
Documentation improvement: replace Discord deb-extraction example with Signal Desktop source-build example in the Electron app how-to guide.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a valid, well-scoped documentation improvement with a clear volunteer (@0x5t4l1n) who has proposed a concrete plan to add a Signal Desktop source-build example while keeping the Discord example for the prebuilt-binary path. The issue has a maintainer-assigned label (Type: Documentation) and is actionable without further clarification.

Issue body
The Discord example for an electron app is actually just extracting a deb package, so it doesn't tell you much about building the electron app.
Perhaps [Signal](https://github.com/snapcrafters/signal-desktop/blob/candidate/snap/snapcraft.yaml) would be a more useful example.

keep open | Docs request: the Electron how-to guide's wrapping example uses snapcrafters/discord, which only dumps a .deb, so it teaches nothing about building an Electron app; maintainer suggests using snapcrafters/signal-desktop instead. | |

keep open | Suggests replacing the Discord Electron example in the documentation with Signal, as the current example only extracts a deb package rather than demonstrating proper Electron app building. Awaiting review. |
