Flathub is about to be a whole lot more colorful - but we need your help!

Thanks to the recent port to libappstream Flathub now supports the AppStream brand colors, which we'll need for curated banners on the homepage.

If you maintain an app on Flathub, add brand colors to your app's MetaInfo file today πŸ’…οΈπŸŒˆοΈ

Introducing App Brand Colors | Flathub Documentation

We're gearing up to launch curated banners on the Flathub home page! However, before we can do that there's one more blocker: Banners need a background color for each app, and many apps don't provide this metadata yet. This is why today we're expanding our MetaInfo quality guidelines and quality checks on the website; If you haven't yet, please add these colors to your app's MetaInfo file using the `` appstream tag, and read on to learn more about brand colors.

@flathub very GNOMEy :|
@justin @flathub elementary was the first distro to use this, so I guess it's very elementary
@razze @flathub doesn't hurt that the owner is a GNOME user :P

@justin @razze @flathub if you mean me at elementary, you could say co-founder and former joint-owner. πŸ˜…

But this work on Flathub has been a loooong road that predates my leaving elementary! elementary has definitely inspired a lot of Flathub for sure; we talked a lot in the early days and I attended GUADEC and LAS on behalf of elementary more than once, where a lot of Flathub work originated.

The beauty of open source: we’re working and learning together more than you might realize.
