Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Flatpak is a software deployment and package management system which works on all Linux distributions. AppImage distribution model is great but troubles with app updates and lack of sandbox is a concern. So, publishing Hoppscotch app as a Flatpak either via https://flathub.org/ or custom repository would be a great addition to the deployment strategy.

Why should this be worked on?

Distributing Hoppscotch Desktop as Flakpak will improve visibility of the app through Flathub. Increases the application security because Flatpak apps are run in a sandbox. Another advantage is that updates are de-duplicated and differential(Similar to AppImage zsync updates).

I might give it a shot, but I am unsure about where to start from. I know for a matter of fact that the flatpak docs can certainly help, but a little light upon how the desktop application gets shipped would come in really handy.

@liyasthomas @AndrewBastin if you folks can help me a bit?

Since you use Tauri V2, they actually have a tutorial: https://v2.tauri.app/distribute/flatpak/

Flatpak would be awesome. I use arch where it is not officially packaged. Also bundling/sandboxing PWAs should be fairly straightforward.

+1 on using flatpak.

Having it be containerized within the flatpak echo-system and having it available on something like flathub would be great and possibly expose it to a lot more potential users.

Hi everyone. If you're interested, I've made a Flatpak packaging of Hoppscotch available here: https://github.com/ShyVortex/hoppscotch-flatpak

I don't think it respects of all Flathub's rules for official publishing on their store but you can easily install it from my repo.
