About

Blaze Hub is a GTK4 and LibAdwaita built application store, based on flathub. It might appear familiar to the GNOME Software, but there are a few more features and differences. - progress tab with network speed, (estimated) amount of downloaded data, (also estimated) total size to download - downloaded item also shows what packages it downloads - ability to choose between user's and system's installation - full-window screenshot preview on click, with ability to open in the ImageViewer

Who publishes this

Something concrete is wrong: the id claims a namespace this repository does not own, or the build does things a build should not. Flatsonar warns twice.

  • io.github.flamedev.blazehub claims the io.github.flamedev namespace but is hosted by github.com/rudziktv and does not build the owner's code
    publisher:namespace
