Investment is nice... but what are they actually investing in? Flatpak kinda works already. What are they planning on spending 500k on?

Flatpak is a mature project and the best option that exists on GNU/Linux today, but its security and sandboxing features still trail behind those of well-funded proprietary platforms such as Android and iOS.
