        Hi @johndoe. Thank you. I'm not a coder so being able to simply contact the dev on GitLab in a straightforward way is just what I need. 🙂 👍

        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

            Perhaps https://gitlab.com/theopenstore/openstore-meta/issues is also an option.

            Edit: Perhaps not. It says "This project is archived. Its data is read-only." on that webpage. 😞
            It seems Telegram is the only way to contact the folks at Open Store, but I don't use Telegram. I wish good old fashioned email was always an option for contacting others.

              @Opolork No, that's not an option. The OpenStore maintainer has nothing to do with the text that each programmer puts in their applications. Besides, you had to open an issue in each application, not both in the same application.

                Ok, understood.

                  Thanks for the heads up, I overlooked that mistake. I'll get around to fixing it. 👍

                    @Opolork the issue tracker is on the top level:

                    https://gitlab.com/groups/theopenstore/-/issues

                    As Bolly stated, each app has its own maintainer. It is a bit of work, as you have to contact each maintainer, but we will be more than happy to fix the spelling mistakes. Opening an issue (again, as stated before) might be the easiest way at least for now... Oh, and thank you

                        @Opolork I think I didn't explain myself correctly 😄
                        The issue has to be opened in the Git page of the app, not of the OpenStore (the OpenStore is an index sort of)

                        So: for the Trolly app, go to the source page and open the issue there

                          Hi @CiberSheep.

                          Ok. I posted to those places already over a week ago but nothing has been done.

                            These things take time. They are volunteers like you. Patience.

                                Yesterday, I got emails from AlaskaLinuxUser (GitLab), thanking me, and saying both pages were fixed.
