If it helps, here is the local freeshow update file I use. It should probably get a review from someone else before a PR is created. (...Or maybe the PR process is how a review happens?)

DEFVER=1
ARCHS_SUPPORTED="amd64 arm64"
get_github_releases "ChurchApps/FreeShow" "latest"
if [ "${ACTION}" != prettylist ]; then
URL="$(grep "browser_download_url.*${HOST_ARCH}\.deb\"" "${CACHE_FILE}" | head -n1 | cut -d'"' -f4)"
VERSION_PUBLISHED="$(echo "${URL}" | cut -d'-' -f2)"
fi
PRETTY_NAME="FreeShow"
WEBSITE="https://freeshow.app/"
SUMMARY="A free and open-source presenter"

Thanks - that is more than helpful.

A PR is the best place for review especially if you have a working definition that could be merged. Just a quick suggestion (which a maintainer could make more easily and even commit for you in a PR context): take a look at the changes in #1253, which tweak the template to include the improvements that have been widely applied to

• replace a lot of | head -n1 | calls by adding -m 1 to the preceeding grep
• remove a lot of unnecessary echo calls by input redirection

Looking forward to a PR to review ...
