Flathub now has a verification process to provide a special badge and filter to indicate which flatpaks are officially from the developer and which ones may be maintained by a third party from the community. I noticed that the flatpak for this program has not been verified yet despite it looking like it has official support from the maintainers here. I figured I would point this out because Linux Mint is about to start filtering out unverified flatpaks from flathub by default unless a separate option is enabled.

As much as I disagree with this decision and hope they change their minds I do also understand the rationale. There are likely to be more distros who go down this path for safety reasons now that verification system is in place so I think this is important to do and establishes trust in the package. It seems to be a fairly straightforward and easy process of logging into your developer account for flathub and following the process for verifying the app. I've linked their documentation on the matter below.
