That would have been AppImageKit (or, rather, its release page) if anything. However, this section is deprecated. AppImageKit's AppRun often does more harm than good. There should be some words of warning. Something like "... this one might work, but please note its limitations: [list]`.
We should open an issue about the latter point.

@TheAssassin I ran across this issue today as well. Followed the documentation, which advised me to use the AppRun binary, which I then needed to search for.
But if that's not actually what should be used, is there some recommended launch script somewhere?
