Flathub "App Listing Quality" issues

Open mmahmoudian opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

There are 4 issues that we need to solve in Flatpak:

  • [x] Has primary brand colors
  • [ ] App icon shouldn't fill too much or too little of the canvas Image
  • [ ] Summary should be shorter than 35 characters
  • [ ] In screenshots, just the app window should be shown

I'm in the process of reading the Flathub Guidelines for the first one.

Second one also needs some reading because our logo is circle, so perhaps some padding to the sides can fix the issue: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/metainfo-guidelines/quality-guidelines#reasonable-footprint

As for the third one, the summary can be changed easily.

The last one is tricky, because we show a full-screen window. I believe for this one we should ask Flathub to consider Flameshot an exception to this rule.

Just to be clear, there are 6 other criteria that are "pending" and they might turn as an issue upon inspections, although 5 of them are practically either not applicable or will not be an issue.

Thanks for looking into this. I agree there is nothing we can do on the "Just the App window" that's the entire point of the app.

I don't really understand the icon issue. It looks fine to me? We could remove the purple circle and just have the flames I suppose. Or we could move it to a rounded rectangle.

I'm working on a PR. I'll submit a draft tomorrow
