Pi-Apps is best suited for helping people install hard-to-install apps. For Thonny, it may be preinstalled, but even if it is not, it comes ready-to-install in the Raspberry Pi "Recommended Software" program.
Why should Thonny be added to Pi-Apps?

@justaPancakeGuy zip is empty

@Botspot are you aware of how these users continue to create empty zips? is it a bug with the createapp script or some pre-installed software these users are using? or are they just uploading empty zips to get around using the wrong issue template?

[Botspot]

This keeps happening because users right-click on the app folder, click Compress, and expect all subfiles to be in the zip. For whatever reason Xarchiver only compresses the folder name and ignores the contents.. Createapp does not create a zip. Maybe if it did, the situation could be better.

Is that already reported as a usability bug with Xarchiver? Obviously even if it was it wouldn't get fixed before an major version release of the OS. Maybe someone should open an issue at Rpi Bookworm asking that they ship a new default program since its not working the way users expect.

Createapp does not create a zip. Maybe if it did, the situation could be better.

Yes I realized that after posting. I think that functionality should be added or add a warning about using Xarchiver (ie: how to use it properly if they do use that software).

Sorry about the zip thing it's fixed now I should've checked it

Pi apps supports Ubuntu right?

Yes https://pi-apps.io/install/#supported-systems:

@Botspot I personally have no issue with adding Thonny since it seems to fit well within our existing guideline (eg: there are other python IDEs existing in pi-apps such as mu, pycharm ce, sublime text, vscode, etc). Thonny existing in "Recommended Software" really isn't relevant here and that has never prevented other similar applications from being added (eg: Scratch 3, VSCode, libreoffice, etc).

Thonny is a free, open-source Python IDE made with beginners in mind.

Using the official and full debian description would be better than whatever you found/came up with.

Thonny is a simple Python IDE with features useful for learning programming.

It comes with a debugger which is able to visualize all the conceptual steps
taken to run a Python program (executing statements, evaluating expressions,
maintaining the call stack). There is a GUI for installing 3rd party packages
and special mode for learning about references.
