Currently, flatpak.org shows proprietary applications when directing people to Flathub. I think it might be good to only showcase free software applications which we think are important / good instead of essentially giving marketing to proprietary applications.

Here are criterias which I think would be good to have in no particular order :

• Applications which are maintained by their developer
• Applications which are made specifically for Flatpak and/or put effort into being fully usable
• Applications which differ in toolkit used (GTK, Qt, Electron, etc.)
• Applications that are known in the Linux community

The goals of doing this would be to show support and appreciation for those who work to make things available as Flatpak, work on the Flatpak platform and to generally show a diverse view of what free software are available. I believe it would also help expel beliefs that Flatpak is made for proprietary applications and that Flatpak doesn't care about freedom.

It might be a good idea to have more than 8 applications and have them show in a random order but that may be done at a later time as it would require more work.

Here are applications that I think might be worthy of being showcased there :

• Firefox
• Flatseal
• OBS
• GNOME Builder
• Elisa
