This pull request introduces licensing and packaging improvements, along with configuration updates for both the main app and the website. The most significant changes include adopting the GPL-2.0 license across the project, adding Flatpak packaging support for Linux, and updating dependencies for the website.

Licensing and Legal Compliance

Added the full GPL-2.0 license text in LICENSE.md and updated the license field to "GPL-2.0" in apps/app/package.json, apps/app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml, and apps/site/package.json to ensure proper open-source licensing across the project. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Linux Packaging and Metadata

Introduced Flatpak packaging for the app by adding a Flatpak manifest (io.github.keshav-writes-code.cherit.yml), a metainfo XML file for app metadata and screenshots, and a submodule for Flatpak builder tools. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Updated Tauri configuration (tauri.conf.json) to include metainfo XML in the Linux DEB package output for better integration with software centers.

App Configuration

Increased the default window size in tauri.conf.json for a better user experience (width: 1200, height: 900).

Website Dependency Updates

Upgraded several dependencies in apps/site/package.json to their latest versions for improved stability and security.

metadata_license is the license for the AppStream metadata itself (not the app). For AppStream, this is commonly set to CC0-1.0 (and is often expected by tooling/reviewers). Consider changing metadata_license to CC0-1.0 to avoid store/validator friction while keeping project_license as GPL-2.0.

Suggested change

<metadata_license>MIT</metadata_license>

<metadata_license>CC0-1.0</metadata_license>

apps/app/distribute/linux/flatpak/io.github.keshav-writes-code.cherit.yml

+  - --device=dri
+  - --share=ipc
+  - --share=network
+  - --filesystem=home


Granting --filesystem=home is a very broad permission and is typically discouraged for Flatpak apps unless strictly necessary. Prefer narrower access (e.g., only xdg-documents, xdg-download, and/or --persist= for specific app directories) to follow least-privilege and reduce review risk on Flathub/software centers.

Suggested change

- --filesystem=home

The new API introduces snake_case names (init_scroll_animation, animation_classes) which is atypical in TS/JS codebases that generally use camelCase. To avoid inconsistent style (and make imports/readability more standard), consider renaming to initScrollAnimation / animationClasses (and optionally keeping a deprecated alias export for backwards compatibility if needed).

This script relies on ESM import syntax; to make the intent explicit and avoid any ambiguity with tooling/transforms, consider adding type="module" to the <script> tag (or using Astro’s recommended inline script directives if applicable in this project).
