Here's the week's worth of updates I made to flatpark — see if any of them catch your eye:

New apps

Ten apps landed this week, none of which were previously on Flathub:

• GeoLibre — Lightweight cloud-native GIS for visualizing and analyzing geospatial data. Published with the developers' explicit permission.
• Tabularis — Open-source database client for PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite. Also published with the developers' explicit permission.
• CC Switch — All-in-one assistant for switching between Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI configs. It's currently the most popular AI-tooling utility that isn't packaged on Flathub — a clear gap we filled.
• electerm — All-in-one terminal client: SSH, SFTP, FTP, Telnet, Serial, RDP, VNC and Spice in one app.
• thinkorswim — Charles Schwab's advanced trading and analysis platform.
• Yaak — Offline, Git-friendly API client for REST, GraphQL, gRPC and WebSocket.
• Legcord — Lightweight, customizable Discord client.
• ZenNotes — Keyboard-first local Markdown notes with Vim motions and diagrams.
• HMCL — Multi-functional, cross-platform Minecraft launcher.
• HiresTI — High-res TIDAL client with bit-perfect playback.
• DiscordChatExporter — Export Discord chat logs to a file.

Website

Gave the site a full visual overhaul (Adwaita+ styling), added a dark-mode toggle, a category browse page, "featured" badges, and an SEO baseline (sitemap, robots, meta descriptions). Apps now default-sort by upstream release date, and screenshots are cached + compressed at build time for faster loads.

Process — PR review spec

Wrote a formal PR review specification: a reviewer runbook, a provenance trust model (how we decide a binary source is trustworthy), and CI guardrails. The model already paid off — the AI review flagged and rejected one malicious PR this week.

Auto-updates

The extra-data auto-update pipeline ran several times this week and worked reliably (now with cleaner dated per-day PRs that supersede stale ones). Because distribution is served through Cloudflare, refreshed pins propagate to users almost immediately — update latency is very low.

Hey everyone,

I made a flatpak app hub: FlatPark: https://flatpark.org

It doesn't build anything; it packages apps through extra-data, wrapping official downloads into flatpak manifests so you can install and update them through flatpak. In some ways, it is a bit like the AUR.

If there's an app you use a lot that isn't in your distro's repos or on Flathub, consider sending a PR. AI-assisted PRs are welcome as long as the manifest, permissions, and update flow are reviewable.

Using it is dead simple: once the remote is added, installing apps works the same way as Flathub.

flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flatpark https://dl.flatpark.org/flatpark.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install flatpark <app-id>

Three typical apps to start with:

• IBKR — a popular trading app that scatters directories and files around your home folder instead of following the usual conventions. Under Flatpak it all gets tucked into the sandbox data dir.
• materialgram — already on Flathub, but that build runs on an old runtime; keeping apps on the latest runtime is one of our goals.
• tabularis — a popular database management tool that isn't on Flathub yet.

Still early — feedback welcome, especially from people who care about Flatpak packaging and sandbox permissions.
