This account is run by volunteers and Mastodon notifications are easy to miss; sorry about that!<br/><br/>App source code itself can be hosted anywhere, but currently Flathub does use our GitHub organization to host app manifests. These are repositories created and owned by Flathub on our org to centralize the permissions and CI workflows. To submit an app, you do currently need to submit a pull request against a template repository on GitHub which requires a GitHub account. 2024-11-14T13:34:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst5ntvjvqn6889eh5u5cjujzdg5pv6r8ntk6prjgdk7w9e2h58lkczype89lrhsjj7q8hz773869ek94adguk55vj2auhuzms8fugcylgyxgv2grn Linux app developers, we want your feedback!<br/><br/>If you have an app on Flathub (or are planning to), please share your thoughts on the optional quality guidelines—especially if your app doesn&#39;t currently meet the guidelines.<br/><br/><a href="https://discourse.flathub.org/t/app-developer-feedback-about-quality-guidelines/8037">https://discourse.flathub.org/t/app-developer-feedback-about-quality-guidelines/8037</a><br/><br/>#Flathub #Flatpak #LinuxApps #OpenSource #FOSS #Linux 2024-11-07T15:54:15Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr60w6kflhjrm5dwwjl4q58x24wwl9z5p8dwwfx28gwszxd83r2ggzype89lrhsjj7q8hz773869ek94adguk55vj2auhuzms8fugcylgyxu67upe Have you seen our new About page? ☺️<br/><br/><a href="https://flathub.org/about">https://flathub.org/about</a><br/><br/>We’ve added a some helpful information for both users and developers checking Flathub out, plus more clear links for people to get in touch with us.
