Hello, As a PySide user I was also looking into this since: - I can't use Nuitka because of a bug with Astropy https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues/15069 - PyInstaller can quickly become a nightmare to work with - AppImages are easy to build but users have to find them - Flatpak has FlatHub that makes distribution even simpler (compared to standalone executable)
I looked quickly into Flatpak to see what it takes to package a PySide application and I agree it could be simpler. So I would be an happy user of tool that simplify PySide app Flatpak creation, I might also be happy to help (within my limited free time...). Alexis.
