Ughhhhh someone submitted an app to appcenter that is not only obviously vibe coded because Claud is on the repo but also because there’s a lot of really big mistakes.
Honestly I don’t like this at all. If you want to learn to write apps please ask for mentorship and join our community there’s lot of people willing to help. But I can’t help but feel like this is a waste of my time because you’re not learning anything this way. It feels gross
I also feel like we need something in appstream so that people in the App Store can know an app was made with an LLM and avoid it
Feel free to throw your acks here: https://github.com/ximion/appstream/issues/744

The same way we have the ability to make choices about licenses that we're okay accepting, I think we need a way to mark apps which have been developed using LLMs like Claude Code so that folks can...

We've also now started a discussion for the appcenter submission process if we'll allow submissions to our flatpak remote that are known to contain LLM-generated code

@danirabbit

I hope you take a strict #NoAI policy. You'll have to block things like KeePassXC, Calibre, and Fluxer (three apps that break my heart).

@terminaltilt We already don’t accept non-GTK apps in our Flatpak remote :) this wouldn’t have any impact on apps available from Flathub for example
