I wanted a desktop environment agnostic flatpak store that didn't require pulling in gnome or kde dependencies.

Built with python, gtk, libflatpak, appstream

All basic flatpak functionality implementation is done.

DONE:

• Appstream metadata loading and search
• Appstream metadata refresh
• Collections metadata loading and search
• Collections metadata refresh
• Repository management functions
• Repository management GUI
• Installed package query functions
• Available updates package query functions
• GUI layout of system, collections, and categories entries.
• GUI layout of application list
• GUI layout of buttons
• GUI layout of search
• Donate/Support button and function.
• Install button functions
• Remove button functions
• System mode backend
• Search function
• System mode toggle
• Update button functions
• Implement subcategories
• Implement kind sorting in the installed/updates sections (desktop_app, addon, runtime, other..)
• Implement kind sorting dropdown for current page
• Implement kind sorting search filter
• Refresh metadata button
• Add install from .flatpakref functionality + drag and drop
• Add install from .flatpakrepo functionality + drag and drop
• Add per-app permission management backend
• Add global permission management backend
• Add per-app permission management GUI
• Add global permission management GUI
• Add Package information page/section.
• Cleanup permissions GUI
• Add permissions override viewing inside per-app permissions view.
• Add 'update all' functionality.
• add about section
• General GUI layout/theming improvements

TODO:

• Document fp_turbo functions

The fp_turbo.py library can double as a standalone CLI tool:
