Thanks to all you developers out there adding brand colors to your apps over the past months we're almost ready to launch featured banners ✨
If you're an app maintainer and haven't done this yet for your app, here are the docs: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/appdata-guidelines/quality-guidelines
To make it more interesting we're setting a deadline! We will be launching the new banners on April 20th, so for the possibility to be featured during the first week, update your apps today :)

What Flathub actually lacks: a decent way of archiving and installing things offline (that knows how to deal with architectures, drivers and dependencies), an official and proper way of mirroring the repository.
No I’m assuming they’ve a limited number of resources, like everyone else, and they like to pool them in the wrong things. Besides they don’t want to open the door for offline and mirroring because then they would lose their privileged position of being the single largest and most used way to get flatpaks.
For all the crap Canonical gets about snaps, these are kinda trivial with snapd. snap download will download a snap and its related assertion, you can install unsigned snaps with --dangerous, and you can add trusted certificates to snapd with a single command.

You’re assuming they can only do one thing at a time, and that the same people who work on this also work on what you speak about.

Of course they have a limited pool of resources. All projects do, it kinda goes without saying.
Still doesn’t mean that the people who implemented this are the same ones who could implement what you’re after.
And besides, it should be the Flatpak project you’re asking for this, not FlatHub.
The mirroring part of their repository is kind of their responsibility I guess…
How so?
