Tray support

It would be great to have the option to keep smile in the tray and open the dialogue by clicking on it.
I think libappindicator would be the ideal option which is supported by all systems at the moment (and GNOME if you install a special extension).
After digging in the GTK documentation a little bit, it seems that bringing back the appindicator support in newer versions of gtk is not an easy task.
As I am targeting flatpak, is not as easy as declaring a dependency that you can install with a terminal command.
At the end, app indicators are discontinued (by default) in both GNOME and Elementary.
They are clearly saying "do not use them".
Why should I bring it back?
I am sorry, but tray support is not coming to Smile.
