+gspell flatpak notes
+====================
+
+gspell is currently not installed as part of the GNOME runtime, so it needs to
+be bundled with the app.
+
+hunspell and hunspell dictionaries are installed by the Flatpak freedesktop.org
+runtime, they are not shared with the host OS. See:
+https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/ (git grep -in hunspell).
+
+Adding words to the personal dictionary works, but each Flatpak app has a
+different personal dictionary. For example for Polari the personal dictionary
+is stored in:
+~/.var/app/org.gnome.Polari/config/enchant/
+It works thanks to the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable (Enchant calls the
+g_get_user_config_dir() GLib function).
+To share personal dictionaries between Flatpak apps, maybe a good solution is
+to set the ENCHANT_CONFIG_DIR environment variable to a common path (if set, it
+has a higher priority than XDG_CONFIG_HOME).
