Is there any way to actually show the details of a remote flatpak package without installing it first? Something similar to apt show <package>?

I don't think so, that's why I prefer AURs over flatpak... you can very install script in AURs but not on flatpak.
That seems like a pretty big miss for something that wants to replace distro level packaging. :-/
I haven't read the specs or anything, but a packing format where anyone can upload their application, and we cannot verify the installation script isn't a good idea IMO.
Verify* (F'ing typo!)
