  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Flatpaks are now becoming the mainstream method of installing software on linux

  • It is used by GNOME's Software app for discovering & installing software
  • Many immutable linux distros recommend using flatpaks instead of installing via package managers
  • Flatpaks allow sandboxing of the running app

https://flathub.org is the de-facto repository for flatpak-packaged software.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

The desktop client of Actual is packaged as a flatpak application and distributed on flathub.org

I think this will be the best path forward once we are publishing apps. There is work ongoing right now to publish to the mac app store, and I believe its planned to publish on the windows apps store as well.

@deathblade666 commented on GitHub (Oct 6, 2024):

if it's helpful, here is the docs on how to publish to flathub, according to the their publishing docs you can also use you're own flatpak repo if perferred (flathub would be more accessible though).
https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission/

Looking through the docs, it sounds like to me it maybe something you can add another github action to automate.
