Package for Flatpak

[polarathene]

I'm aware you have AppImage packaged. It has some drawbacks afaik. With the app stores for more casual users seeming to favour Flatpak, Flatpak offering modularity in layers rather than a single static build/bloat(Flatpak apps can share dependencies when they're the same iirc).

Flatpak also has portals, which allows for the DE to use a consistent native file dialog instead of what the app by default provides(eg on a Qt oriented DE like KDE, GTK apps can present KDE native dialog(Qt based) instead of the GTK one you would get outside of Flatpak with GTK apps).

EDIT: AppImage wiki compares the various formats here. It's putting quite a bit of X on Flatpak for having a runtime/install base instead of being completely isolated/separate bundled apps that AppImage provides. I haven't got other resources to share that aren't potentially biased though(as feature comparisons like these tend to be). I'd still say Flatpak is worth considering :)

I'll think about it but I personally still believe the native packages for target distros would be better. If someone would like to assist with Flatpak packaging though, I'd gladly accept the help.

Hmm, as mentioned here, "Flathub only hosts stable application releases, and not development snapshots. Manifests should therefore refer to tarballs or git tags and not the tip of a branch". It therefore seems a little premature to distribute Quentier via flatpak - there's simply hasn't been such a thing as a stable release yet. Also, there are native packages available for many distros now - see #168 and #158. Due to this I'd probably put this issue on hold for now.
