This only supports my point about having more stuff to maintain. Now there's this GitHub page having a large "Download on Flathub" link that goes absolutely nowhere because the package is unmaintained. Who makes the GitHub page go away? https://github.com/flathub/com.whitemagicsoftware.kmcaster?t... Also, the image on that page is outdated, which would have been one more thing to maintain. In addition, the install instructions are four lines of code to run, compared with three lines of code to download without Flathub. My point stands: Flathub adds an unnecessary maintenance burden (to some projects).

It comes up as dry because the package is marked as unmaintained https://flathub.org/apps/com.whitemagicsoftware.kmcaster https://github.com/flathub/com.whitemagicsoftware.kmcaster/p...

Years ago, I wrote an on-screen display (OSD) in Java for showing keypresses and mouse clicks[1]. Someone thought a flatpack would be useful[2]. I didn't see the point. It meant: (a) maintaining two installation processes; (b) collating download stats from two sources; (c) trusting a third-party system to maintain package indexes over time[3]; (d) adding yet another package manager to a system that already has a package manager; and (e) bloating the repo with another repo. Years later, I still only see drawbacks.
