I play board games and video games.

Sometimes I'll code some shell scripts or some tiny program, but I don't get paid to do it. I love competitive games and the magic circle of the game.

obviously good for the bit, but the serious reason why this exists is likely because it's a modern gtk app -> it's meant for gnome users / made by a gnome users -> gnome is all in on freedesktop/flathub -> these users can all expect to have flatpak availability as a common method of distribution -> therefore, release it as a flatpak, so these users who already have flatpak can more easily manage their appimage-only programs

You probably want to look into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and the freedesktop spec documentation if you are interested in more of where these standards come from:
