I built it but I wasn't able to get it to run:
$ com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate

(.com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate-real:16928): Gjs-WARNING **: 21:50:01.247: JS ERROR: ImportError: No JS module 'main' found in search path
@/gnu/store/ghbd2isjs02445c390xv90l0p3bbla5v-foliate-1.5.3/bin/.com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate-real:9:1

Script /gnu/store/ghbd2isjs02445c390xv90l0p3bbla5v-foliate-1.5.3/bin/.com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate-real threw an exception

I tried adding (arguments '(#:glib-or-gtk? #t)) to the package
definition, which I think should solve your problem.
