        I guess you can report an issue at its development site:

          @wgarcia Hi. Thanks. BTW, on that Gitlab page, it says 'This project is archived. Its data is read-only.'. So perhaps that's no longer an option to contact them by?

          How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

            @Opolork I imagine app developers do their own write ups for the open store anyway? So maybe better to contact them directly. I don't know that for certain though.
            I'd also suggest that if it's not likely to cause the communication to be misunderstood, it might not be the most pressing issue. But I dunno, I guess it's probably an easy enough fix.

              The 2 web pages are, and the 2 spelling mistakes:

              https://open-store.io/app/myfinance.alaskalinuxuser
              finanace –> finance

              https://open-store.io/app/trolly.alaskalinuxuser
              shoping –> shopping

              If anyone can contact Weston Howard and tell him, I'd appreciate it.

                Hi @wally. It's not a big thing but I think it does look a bit amateurish to make basic mistakes like that. It may also turn some folk away. They may think [likely wrongly] that if the dev[s] can't get the spelling right then how can they make an app that's done properly.

                  Hello @Opolork, you can open a bug in each application's repository. You can even make an MR.

                    Hi Bolly. What's an 'MR'?

                      Merge request. It means you can propose a change, in this case to the spelling.

                          Hi. I created a gitlab.com account but am not sure about the setting up of an SSH key in order for me to do a Merge Request on https://open-store.io/app/trolly.alaskalinuxuser. Can someone please go thru this step-by-step?
