Increase discoverability in metadata
Not having used it for a couple of years, months ago I wanted to install Pitivi through Flathub, but did not remember its - admittedly peculiar - name.
It turns out, this is not too easy to find for someone looking for a simple, intuitive Linux video editor:
Here are some keywords I tried in Software, that sometimes returned competitors (Kdenlive, Olive), but never Pitivi.
- "video maker": nothing at all, although this is expected ("maker" sounds a bit outdated?)
- "video edit[ing]": returned Kdenlive and Olive but not Pitivi
- "video": I could not find anything either, even in an endless list of results
- "film", "movie": finally seemed to work, although they are quite niche keywords
I think that many more users would use Pitivi if it was more discoverable on Flathub and such.
Thankfully, Google is smarter:
