Flathub Quality Guidelines

[cassidyjames]

I'm a volunteer with Flathub, and one thing I do is help review app metadata to check if they meet the Flathub Quality Guidelines. These guidelines are technically optional for apps to be on Flathub, but are required for apps to get featured on the home page (e.g. in the carousel and app of the day banners).

I'd love to help get Zen's Flathub listing into shape so we can feature it!

I only see the following issues:

• Screenshots: Screenshots should be of just the window (e.g. no wallpaper behind) and at a decent size so everything is easily viewable on at the sizes presented at flathub.org. Some examples:

  

  

• Brand colors: The current brand colors are #d9d9d9 for light style and #f5f5f5 for the dark style; I'd recommend a much darker color for the dark style, as a white banner is going to be really harsh. You can use the Flathub banner preview page to play with colors, but I think something around #eeeeee and #444444 could look nice for the light and dark styles respectively:

  

  Alternatively, I saw some hints of pink/purple on your site, so something in that vein could be really eye-catching (…but might not be what you're going for):

  

Other than that, it looks like Zen is passing the metadata quality checks—nice work! I would recommend including the word "browser" in your listing explicitly as well to make it easier to search for, but that's not strictly required at all. :)

I'd love to get Zen featured on the home page of Flathub soon if we can have you address those items; let me know if I can help clarify anything, as well!
