Flatpak release and publishing in Flathub #1438
Description
Verification in Flathub isn't needed but could be nice.
https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission
As to why, such as "why not just use appImage"? AppImages depend on fuse2, which is unmaintained and depends on a SUID root binary. (https://secureblue.dev/faq#appimage)
Furthermore, releasing as Flatpak (particularly if on Flathub) allows for automatic updates, and better sandboxing.

Tauri v2 doesn't seem to have instructions for shipping flatpaks at https://v2.tauri.app/distribute/#linux. We ship the AppImage because Tauri builds it for us.

Curious.
I'll look into this in a moment, though from a 6 second glance

Seems possible but will require additional setup from a few minutes looking at it, I think this will better be fixed upstream, so I'll create an issue on their GitHub and mention this one in it.

This will be officially doable in 0.1 (https://github.com/Keshav-writes-code/Cherit/milestone/1) thus this is blocked by Keshav-writes-code/Cherit#32
This is currently doable with https://deploy-preview-2948--tauri-v2.netlify.app/distribute/flatpak/
To avoid in-dev issues from pre-release stuff we will instead wait for the more direct method to become usable.
