First of all, thank you for flathub! Many applications that I could not get to work before due to... well... I couldn't figure that out, I probably would have gotten them to work if I did... install without pain now thanks to flatpak, but it's thanks to flathub.org that I have discovered many wonderful applications (some very old that would have helped me ages ago if I had found them earlier). You even have RSS feeds for new releases, which is amazing!

Anyway, I just noticed that flathub.org does not link to this repository. I would have expected to find links in the footer, and in the "Get Involved" and "Reporting Issues" sections of the about page:

Just to indicate how confusing this is: the "submit applications" link on the about page leads to to https://github.com/flathub/flathub/wiki/App-Submission, which almost resulted in me opening this issue in that repo, even though I realized it probably was the wrong place for it (assuming I would be forwarded). Then I thought "maybe the flatpak website does link to it?", and it does have a link to its webpage repository. So I almost opened this issue over there before realizing it was only about the flatpak website, and not flathub.org. So as a last-ditch effort I used the GitHub search function to find https://github.com/flathub/flathub.org, which forwarded me over here.

Anyway, thanks again for this project, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you find the website useful!

The project repository is currently linked in the footer, in "Powered by Linux Store Frontend v0.7.3"

I'll keep this issue opened so I remember to make it more prominent in the about page and/or the footer

Aha! I associated "Powered by..." with whatever hosting provider or company is behind a project, so I didn't make the connection!

Jep, run into the same issue. The wording could be more clear.
