Hello, world! 👋 It’s your friendly neighborhood Linux app store here on the Fediverse! Check our profile, we’re verified. 😎
Speaking of which… if you’re an app developer and want to get your app verified on Flathub, check the docs! If you need any help, give us a shout here.

@flathub Lunacy is a software for UI/UX design
Currently considered verified, with community support https://github.com/flathub/com.icons8.Lunacy
The developers have announced that they will soon make their own Flatpak https://lunatics.icons8.com/discussion/500/important-message-for-linux-users/p1.
I wonder how the battle for ID will play out and whether community-builds will be stripped of verification.
@drsheppard it’s not a battle at all—it’s a documented process! https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission#someone-else-has-put-my-app-on-flathubwhat-do-i-do
Upstream developers can always own their app ID, and the fact that the app is verified means the developer has gone through the verification to prove they are the developer—they already have access to maintain the existing app on Flathub.
Hopefully it can remain a collaborative community + upstream effort!
Hnnm. Could I register org.mattdm.Lunacy and get a Verified badge?
@mattdm @drsheppard that could be the ID, but the app would not be accepted with “Lunacy” as the user-facing name.
Every app submitted goes through human review, and names that obviously violate trademarks, duplicate existing apps, or could cause customer confusion between other apps would need to be addressed. We’re all humans working on these things together, so we would reach out to figure out the best solution together.
