io.github.jhaygood86.big-purple-remote claims the io.github.jhaygood86 namespace, but no hosting location is known to check it against
publisher:namespace

Install

From the project's own remote

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists appcenter https://flatpak.elementary.io/repo.flatpakrepo

flatpak install appcenter io.github.jhaygood86.big-purple-remote

https://flatpak.elementary.io/repo.flatpakrepo

Adds a third-party remote: future updates of this app come from it.

Installing with the Flatsonar desktop app adds the checks the terminal does not: the files are unpacked and scanned, the real permissions are re-scored, and you are asked twice if anything is off. Get it.
