I created a script that always installs apps from their official source

It's a proof of concept of an idea I had a while ago. I dislike having to hunt down apps for my Linux machine when I want them from an official source. Some apps are packages as tarballs, some as .debs, some as install scripts that download a binary, some are flatpaks and snaps.

I created a yaml file with only verified apps from flathub and snapcraft, and added a few apps outside of them that I could think of.

The ultimate goal is the user just typing the names of what they want, and the script will just get it. They shouldn't waste time with picking the right source.

Could you link some of those other options? I tried searching for something similar and found nothing. I know about LURE which got abandoned and didn't have the same goal.
