The config dir for the official Riot.im app is in `riot.im`. If you use this,
your app will auto-update itself using builds from Riot.im.
Profiles
========
To run multiple instances of the desktop app for different accounts, you can
launch the executable with the `--profile` argument followed by a unique
identifier, e.g `riot-web --profile Work` for it to run a separate profile and
not interfere with the default one.
Alternatively, a custom location for the profile data can be specified using the
`--profile-dir` flag followed by the desired path.
User-specified config.json
==========================
+ `%APPDATA%\$NAME\config.json` on Windows
+ `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME\$NAME\config.json` or `~/.config/$NAME/config.json` on Linux
+ `~Library/Application Support/$NAME/config.json` on macOS
In the paths above, `$NAME` is typically `Riot`, unless you use `--profile
$PROFILE` in which case it becomes `Riot-$PROFILE`.
