  • xdg-desktop-portal

    Desktop integration portal

  • IMO the "correct" solution to this for both flatpaks and snaps is for Firefox to open/save/etc. files using XDG desktop portals, which were created for exactly the purpose of read/writing specific files without providing the app access to your whole drive. (Side note: They were created for flatpak, but are supported by snap too, so the single implementation can be used for both types of packaging.)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
