I think more than a store -how of Canonical-, the Linux ecosystem needs a place to discover apps with this new format. One must consider that each distribution will take different paths with Flatpak, using it internally or by adding third-party repositories directly (see :<a id="LPlnk550307" href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_party_software_proposal" class="OWAAutoLink">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_party_software_proposal</a>). Therefore, the software centers of each distribution ill be central in the user experience to the installation of these types of applications, such as GNOME Software or Yumex-dnf (see: <a id="LPlnk343723" href="https://github.com/timlau/yumex-dnf/issues/124" class="OWAAutoLink"> https://github.com/timlau/yumex-dnf/issues/124</a>) Therefore, I think a site that is responsible for gathering information from the applications that are distributed as Flatpaks and add a direct download link (bundle), link to the author's website or a link to open it from GNOME Software is a good perspective. <div id="Signature">CJT </div> </div> <hr style="display:inline-block;width:98%" tabindex="-1"> <div id="divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr">De: xdg-app <xdg-app-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org> en nombre de Jorge García <jgarciao@gmail.com> Enviado: jueves, 28 de julio de 2016 10:15:26 p. m.

We exchanged some e-mails and he asked me to take the discussion to the mailing list. I initially wanted to write a short draft document with some of the ideas but finally I ended up creating a quite formal document with a proposal for a Linux App Store, with some mockups and possible implementation details. You will find the document in the link below [2]. I will be very happy to know your thoughts about this proposal.
