That was basically what the original idea behind #AppCenterForEveryone was; not a Snap app store necessarily, but what if we could ship the whole-ass app store on any distro??

The fact that everyone (except Ubuntu) adopted Flatpak meant elementary could pivot to using a Flatpak Authenticator instead of a whole app store for those distros... but that still hasn't shipped, I guess. At least you can add the AppCenter Flatpak remote!

Last year we announced #AppCenterForEveryone to move our pay-what-you-want app store to being based on Flatpak and available for use on any modern Linux desktop. We finally got together in person to work on that goal; here’s what we accomplished: https://blog.elementary.io/appcenter-dashboard-sprint/

Big steps for the Flatpak-based AppCenter

I supported the @elementary #AppCenterForEveryone campaign. Just got access to the #elementaryOS6 daily builds.

Time to give it a serious try. If I like it, I might even try running it as a daily driver, after the beta is over.

Despite postponing the in-person #AppCenterForEveryone sprint due to COVID-19, we still got a lot done. Read about it and check out some prototype screenshots on the blog. https://blog.elementary.io/appcenter-for-everyone-remote-sprint/

What we accomplished despite postponing the in-person sprint

Our original time for the #AppCenterForEveryone sprint has ended, and we did get some important work done while working remotely—but we still plan to schedule an in-person sprint to really dial things in and get more substantial work done. Blog post incoming within the next week.
