Describe the problem

AFAIK, the brand new Cinny desktop flavor has not been packaged for any distro yet (quite normal given that it's 1 only week old), which means it's not easy to install and try it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Packaging Cinny as a Flatpak would make the installation completely painless, hence solve the above problem. Moreover, if published on Flathub, it would instantly be possible to install Cinny in only one click in all distros that have Flathub configured by default, which could bring lots of new users.

Alternatives considered

Among other "universal" packaging solutions:

  • AppImage works well, but AFAIK is not integrated in any "software manager" UI of main distros, which means it would not create extra visibility for Cinny.
  • Snap is the default solution for Ubuntu and its derivatives, but is not well supported outside Ubuntu, AFAIK.

Note that being a Fedora user, I am quite biased towards Flatpak.

I would be open to try this, with consent of the cinny team and if nobody else started working on this already, as I maintain two projects published on flathub already and I love cinny.
