In this thread let’s link up flathub content from around the web. That way people can just subscribe to this thread and get all the news and info about what’s happening around flatpaks and flathub

  • One post per thing.
  • Application should have a high quality flatpak
  • If possible let’s concentrate on applications.
  • If you’ve got comments on something do it “upstream” or start a new thread, that way we can keep this focused.
  • Let’s avoid opinion pieces and “versus” content

This could easily get out of hand so let’s keep it classy and positive.
