I am looking at the package Joplin to keep my notes in.
Joplin is in the AUR and I assume I can build it but then I need to update it manually when new versions appear.
Consider to use an AUR helper, or to use a website-changes-monitoring-tool and run your own non-AUR helper script to automagically build the package.
As Youri pointed out Flatpak is an alternative but that will run applications in a sandbox.
Snaps are also using kind of a container approach. Whatever the definition of "sandbox" or "container" and Co is, snaps and flatpacks follow a similar approach, coming with more or less equal pitfalls.
