@garrett Endless's Hack used to be a constellation of IIRC half a dozen Flatpaks, but to submit it to Flathub it had to be rolled up into a single, larger, weirdly-shaped blob. You can guess what the scripts to do this were named!

Any recommendations for an Android media player for a local directory of podcast mp3s?

Speakers of languages which do not use the Latin alphabet: if you were looking at my app in your app store, would you hope to see my name transliterated?

@cassidyjames and is there any correlation between "listing is good" and "listing is translated"? Vast swathes of Flathub have appdata in the Flathub repo, untranslated and not wired up to any translation infrastructure.

There are dozens of fish or fish-like emoji (e.g., 🐟 🐠🎣🐡🦈🐬🐳🐋🐟.𓆝𓆟)

In fact, there are so many that, if I sent you a random one, a third party wouldn't have a good chance of guessing which one I'd sent.
This means we could adopt a new form of 2FA based on sending fish emoji
