The data gathered from feed.json != .xml file, for example feed.json of kdenlive doesn't have project url / download url but https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/blob/master/database/Kdenlive/org.kde.kdenlive.appdata.xml has it.

Every kde app like kdenlive, kdevelop or any old app available here either doesn't have project url or download url or sometimes both in feed.json.

So what I propose is that they should be either update or removed as they are very confusing, cause user will think that this app has appimage, but they will not find the project url or download url for that app.

Or provide an alternate way to fetch data instead of feed.json

Users should always go to the application project's homepage or download page to download AppImages. Like you would do to get the Windows download.

Some applications require users to fill in survey forms or even complete payment before they can be downloaded. It is entirely up to the application author.

@probonopd But most of the app doesn't have there project/homepage url in feed.json file, which I think is the only way to get app data to use in a third-party app.

Like I said is the case with multiple kde apps including but not limited to kdenlive.

Indeed it would be good to add all the links we are showing on https://appimage.github.io/Kdenlive/ also to the feed:
