# Flatline

##### Select apps directly from your favorite software center by clicking Install from Flathub, apps.gnome and AppCenter.

## Installation

[for Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/flatline-flatpak/)
[for Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/flatline/cpbniogoilfagmcoipghkgnpmdglfmjm/)

##### Epiphany (GNOME Web)

1. Enable Web Extensions (This feature is experimental)
- - > flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Epiphany set org.gnome.Epiphany.web:/org/gnome/epiphany/web/ enable-webextensions true
2. Download Flatline via addons.mazilla.org
3. Open GNOME Web and go to Preferences > Extensions
4. Click on Add New Extension and choose the file you previously downloaded

## The Why

Flatline was created to facilitate the installation process of Flatpak applications from the websites flathub.org, app.gnome.org and appcenter.elementary.io.

## Support

- [x] [Flathub](https://flathub.org/)
- [x] [Flathub Beta](https://beta.flathub.org/)
- [x] [Apps GNOME](https://apps.gnome.org/)
- [x] [AppCenter](https://appcenter.elementary.io/)

## Requirements

- [Flatpak](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak) installed.
- [Flathub](https://www.flatpak.org/setup/) and/or other Flatpak repository.
- [GNOME Software](https://apps.gnome.org/app/org.gnome.Software/) or any software center with Flatpak support.

## Known Limitations

Flatline basically uses AppStream to tell GNOME Software (or any software center with Flatpak support) which app to show, however there is no way to specify which repository to show.
When opening it will be necessary to manually choose the repository.
If you use distributions that focus heavily on using Flatpaks like Fedora Silverblue, you won't notice this.

## Development

1. Clone the repository
2. Open Firefox browser and navigate to `about:debugging`
3. Click "Load Temporary Add-on" and from the file browser, choose `manifest.json`

## Special thanks

I want to thank [Lains](https://github.com/lainsce) for taking the trouble to create such a cool icon, thanks also to [Nahuel](https://github.com/nahuelwexd) for bringing the idea to the table.
