    Surely it can be reverse engineered by the API that snap uses?

    Uh… Sure…

    But the competing options that require no reverse engineering are completely free, so…to each their own, I suppose.

      ffs, no need for the tone. I’m not trying to defend them. Just trying to understand what exactly the problem is and isn’t.

        Hey, no tone intended, sorry.

        I just didn’t know what to do with “we could reverse engineer it”.

        I’m not mad at anyone who does reverse engineer it. That sounds cool as hell.

        I’m just not going to count on someone getting around to reverse engineering Snap to rescue my laptop from Ubuntu’s closed ecosystem. That would be miserable, for me.
