Quoting: pentarctagonWhat does it mean to be verified?
It's explained on the about page for now https://flathub.org/about [External Link]

That's at least the non technical description, if you want the technical one, let me know.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelWow... that is a study in how not to design a webpage.
This is why we can't have nice things. Be constructive man.
Sorry, just a bit of frustration over the state of the world in general venting and indeed a bit unhelpful I'll admit. ;-)
What I meant was priority of information on the app pages - what is really important to identify and install the app should be immediately accessible without having to scroll through neat, but low priority data.
Screen-space could also be used more efficiently so scrolling in general is kept to a minimum.
Look at the size of the screenshot area compared to the size of actual screenshots for example or the wastefulness of the enormous 'more'-button in the change-log-section - the hidden information could have already been displayed in the empty wasteland on the upper parts of the page while still looking more tidy and neat.
Advertisers tend to waste space like that a lot these days in order to show off their products, but from a user perspective, these sites are always quite annoying and fatiguing to use. And an App-store with free to use software should probably prioritize user-experience(fast delivery of relevant information and low user workload) first and then worry about making it look appealing as the cherry on top.
As the one that implemented those changes, please post your design docs somewhere where I can evaluate them.

Keep in mind, descriptions can be multiple pages long or not.

Screenshots can exist or not. They will also be big or small, sometimes on the same apps.

Please also make sure it works on widescreens and phones.

Hands down the worst thing is the wifi dropping after exciting a game, like someone above mentioned.
