I tried it out and it looks good, except for this:

There is an "Update" button which tries to download and install the
newest version of itself. I tried the button with network offline and
it has a status message of "Network is unreachable." I don't know what
exactly happens here when the network is reachable.

The software should only be updated via Guix. Would it be possible with
a patch to remove or disable the button?
