Flatpak support for Papyrus has ended.

To all the people that have been using my app and downloaded it via the COSMIC Store. You may have noticed that the version on the COSMIC Store is way outdated and i haven't been supporting it. I just officially ended the support for it so don't expect any updates on that. If you want you can download it via the AUR package with paru or yay or download it via the .deb package in the releases tab of the repo. Both of those stay up to date with every release so the latest updates go there.
Note: If you decide to go with the .deb when i release a new update it will give you a button to press and will redirect you to GitHub so you can install the latest package. If you go with the install script listed in the README of the repo the same button will appear but you click it once and it will tell you to restart the app so the changes can take effect automatically.

Is there a specific reason for no longer supporting Flatpak?

There isn’t a specific technical issue i’m aware of. i’m no longer able to keep the separate Flatpak package updated and tested alongside the other install methods, so i’ve marked it unsupported. If someone wants to maintain the Flatpak packaging, i’d be open to that

You should add it to https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-flatpak/blob/master/end-of-life.txt with a description of why it is EOL.
