FOSDEM 2024—a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas, and collaborate—is this coming weekend in Brussels, Belgium and we'll be there! Learn where you can find us or even sit down and discuss Flathub itself, metadata and build validation, upcoming changes, and anything else on your mind.
Earlier this month we shared new app metadata guidelines in response to the growth and maturity of Flathub. Today we're proud to share about that growth in a bit more detail including a huge milestone, how we calculate stats, and what we believe is driving that growth.
Flathub has grown massively over the past few years, making it easier than ever to get a ton of apps all from one place—but with that growth comes new problems. We're here with a solution to ensure developers' apps, Flathub, and the entire Linux desktop ecosystem is presented in what we believe is the best light possible.
You can now find our new documentation at docs.flathub.org or well here, if you're reading this.
