due to some copyright issues, figma-linux should move away from using the figma trademark in its name, making it look like it's the official figma app, so here's my proposal to actually do that

WTF is "Select for Figma"? Isn't the name "Figma Linux" already a different name?

Although "Select for Figma" isn't a bad alternative either.

Flathub guidelines disallows that. There is a reason why we choose "Select for Figma" instead of "Figma Linux"

basically the tldr is that "figma linux" sounds like an official client

tbh "select for figma" is a worse name and doesnt have much meaning (compared to the current one which is straightforward - what does "select" mean in this context?) but i guess you have no choice when it comes to copyright

I know this doesn't solve the problem of getting the app back on Flathub, but as a temporary solution I've made a repo that builds a flatpak with the suggested changes here: https://github.com/flat-software/software.flat.Select

The resulting flatpak is published on the flat.software repository: https://flat.software/repo.flatpakrepo

flatpak remote-add https://flat.software/repo.flatpakrepo
flatpak install software.flat.Select
