auto update/check for updates

[Beebeeoii]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users would like to get the latest version of Lominus but it entails manual checking of this github repo. This would be a barrier for many to get the latest updates. Moreover, when hotfixes are pushed, users might not be getting the fixes because they do not know that there are updates.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement an auto update or check for updates feature that would either:

1. Automatically update the app for users
2. Notify them that there is an update and they can proceed to the releases page to get the latest version

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. Include a link in the application that directs them to the release page so they can just click on it and see if there are any updates on their own. This, however, would still require some manual checking.

Additional context
Helpful library that seems quite suitable for this feature request: selfupdate
