This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: I'm concerned about the reliability of the sources. Some allow anyone to submit articles with questionable amount of review. Some are just small blogs with one to three contributors.
Feel free to ask reliability questions at WP:RSN. Ca ^{talk to me!} 09:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Are you sure the sources you've provided are reliable enough? (It's a sincere question, not criticism, I promise...) Also, it's often better to avoid citing Twitter and other social media directly, if possible.
I'd suggest you to take the articles for similar software, such as Rhythmbox, as "models" to improve your own draft. Oltrepier (talk) 10:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
