[RFE] Add filter to the search: Licence, Update,

1

It would be nice to have more filters, but keep it simple:

  • Licence: Proprietary / Free
  • Last update: maximum Years since last update
  • Number of Downloads, ratings, Git(Hub|Lab) stars …
  • Size: maybe useless, not a good example …
  • Platform: Gnome / KDE / Electron JS / … (I know they are compatible, but some might prefer " native" apps or avoid Electron apps)

I am not saying that it should be all pushed upfront ! Some might be only accessible via keywords in the request like pdf platform:gnome LastUpdate:2 a help page would describe the operators.

Now, that we have a good amount of apps … I miss these :heart: features :heart:!

Specially the license filter.

It would be useful to be able to filter by the first letter [or number] of the application name.

…

Related to the topic: is it possible that when the Flathub repository is added a distinction can be made to avoid proprietary software? . Perhaps adding another element to the column apart from Name / Application ID / Version / Branch / Arch.

I imagine something like:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo --avoid-license-proprietary

or something like that

Currently there is no repository for Libre only flatpaks. Many distributions attached to a stricter GNU line could benefit from it.

It should be reported at https://github.com/flathub/linux-store-frontend/.
