Big thank you to @craftyguy of @postmarketOS - had a nice time talking about all things about app ecosystem, postmarketos, and building community. Grateful that he installed a new version of postmarketos and the camera works!!! (OnePlus 6t) that was exciting. Still trying to figure out why the sim card doesn't work, but it is because there is some kind of lock.
One of the nice benefits of living in #portland. :)

Museum of All Things is now available for Linux via Flathub! This unique open source game was recently featured on @godotengine blog, and I just couldn’t resist helping make it available to more folks via the best Linux app store. :)

Tiny Crate, a third open source Godot Engine game from the same developer, is all the way down at 224. Not terrible among thousands of apps… but we can get it trending higher. :D
https://flathub.org/apps/net.hhoney.tinycrate
You can check out its nice new icon from @micahilbery by clicking through, too. Plus I hear there’s a new update coming out soon that will add more save slots plus local high scores…

Candy Wrapper, another open source Godot Engine game from the same developer, is also trending! This one’s at #15; can we get it higher?
https://flathub.org/apps/net.hhoney.candy
It also recently passed the guidelines with a shiny new @micahilbery icon (again, might be cached: click through to see the new one).

A nice surprise: ROTA—the open source Godot Engine game I’ve previously gushed about—is currently trending in the #4 spot on Flathub!
https://flathub.org/apps/net.hhoney.rota
This is likely thanks to recently passing all the quality guidelines, including the delicious new app icon from @micahilbery.

I really think it's getting more and more important to have a way to tag Linux applications which uses "AI"/LLMs! I asked about this ten months ago, but other than the issue being moved to the correct place, nothing else has happened.
I hope someone who works with #AppStream will look at this soon!

Ever wonder how we help keep millions of users safe while delivering thousands of apps and their updates?
We’ve written up a bit about the journey an app takes behind the scenes from its source code all the way to running on your device—with all of the safety nets along the way.

We take this responsibility very seriously with a layered, in-depth approach including sandboxing, permissions, transparency, policy, human review, automation, reproducibility, auditability, verification, and user interface.

if anyone’s super into this Flatpak and Flathub stuff—especially if you’re knowledgeable about safety protections built into the ecosystem—I could use your review of a decently-long blog post. Let me know and I’ll DM you a link.

Fun fact: if my process and math is correct, Flathub is down to <5% of apps being built from other packaging formats as extra-data sources.

Thanks to @wjt's blog post¹ for pointing me in the right direction and gasinvein’s Flatpak Remote Metadata Fetcher² for the handy tool.

Hey folks, if you're building something app-like, I would love to know how you're planning to distribute it.
PS: The survey is anonymous and hosted by Tally's small team of awesome humans based here in Ghent.
Thank you

We have a shiny new “On the Go” section on Flathub! 
Check out how we’re making it easier to find Linux apps for mobile devices like phones, tablets, and even Steam Decks using existing data and open standards.
And developers: if your app is ready for mobile but isn’t featured in the new section, learn how to fix it.

docs.flathub.org · On the Go: Making it Easier to Find Linux Apps for Phones & Tablets | Flathub DocumentationWith apps made for different form factors, it can be hard to find what works for your specific device. For example, we know it can be a bit difficult to find great apps that are actually designed to be used on a mobile phone or tablet. To help solve this, we’re introducing a new collection: On the Go.
One of the features I'm most excited about in the upcoming release of Graphs is the proper handling of equations with an infinite canvas.
Equations can be changed, and operations on equations will change the equation itself accordingly instead of just adjusting the data. We also still support generated data from an equation.
This, and much more to come later with our next major release :)

We just released version 1.8.4 of Graphs.
- Upgraded to the GNOME 47 runtime, giving us proper accent colour support.
- Improved rubber band selection, which now has rounded corners for instance.
- Fixed some issues with equation parsing with nested parentheses.
You can get it on Flathub. Meanwhile we’re working hard on the next major release, which includes proper equation support with an infinite canvas, a new style editor and much more.
