How best to manage Flatpaks which aren't provided by flathub

[Georift]

I'm raising this here as I'm fairly new to uBlue OS and immutable opertating systems in general.

I was trying to install Rust Desk today, which provides a Flatpak, but it isn't on Flathub. While installing I ran into an error:

The application com.rustdesk.RustDesk/x86_64/master requires the runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08 which was not found

This flatpak issue mentioned it was related to system vs user dependencies. So I managed to resolve using: flatpak install --user rustdesk-1.2.3-x86_64.flatpak

I guess I'm just curious for folks opinion on this, is installing files outright a bad practice? Is there any way for set myself up for success in tracking latest versions of these releases?

Yeah rustdesk needs to push to flathub otherwise you'll be stuck doing that by hand until then.
