So I have made new GTK 3 app…
What are my options now? Is there any place to announce new app and how an app can make it to the GNOME ?
At the moment I have .tar.gz hosted on my page.
You can announce it on your socials. If you want to announce it to TWIG or apply it to Circle it needs to be GTK4+libadwaita
I had to search what TWIG is… Anyway who is reading it and is that the common way for app developers? Also Gtk 4 is not supported in Pop Os while Pop Os is still very popular
If you want to publish an application regardless of the Linux distribution, you can use Flathub. Otherwise, you have to ask Linux distributions to package your application.
In general, you don’t “make it to the GNOME”: GNOME does not publish applications.

OK Thank you. I am asking here because the Software app on Fedora has a link to GNOME.
That is because it’s GNOME Software, an application written by GNOME developers and integrated in the GNOME desktop environment that Fedora uses by default in its Workstation edition.
GNOME Software allows you to install applications packaged by the Fedora project, so you need to ask Fedora to package your application. Fedora also allows you to use Flathub as a source of application, so you may want to publish your application on Flathub.
GTK4 is available on Pop!_OS, but if you’re targeting it you’re much better off using Flathub.
In general, I would recommend writing new GTK applications using GTK4.

Quite a bit of people! You can read a lot of app news thanks to this. And thanks to flatpak you don’t need to care about distributions, since they provide distro-agnostic way of publishing apps.
What is TWIG? Is it some kind of platform?
