<p><a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html">Appstream metadata</a> is an xml file that allows your application to be visible to application stores like gnome-software (KDE discover) and really makes it easy for people on Linux to browse, install and now even write reviews for your app. This patch adds a (mostly working) appdata file and makes it known to Makefile.am. Comments inside the appdata file indicate where this could use some love, e.g. with 16:9 screenshots instead of 4:3 links taken from the geany website. The other info (optional) is to add the main dev's email (or whoever maintains the appdata file upstream) as the update_contact (also added as a comment).</p>
<p>Hope you find this useful. Thanks!</p>
