feature suggestion: Snap package for Linux #44
Description
Hi !
Since I'm using Solus as my main OS, I've thinked that it was a pity not having (Un)colored usable in my system. Nevertheless, Solus, as other OS, now support snap packages since it simplify the distribution/update process. I already know that you are currently working on a brand new version that is why I would love to see a snap package for the next version.
By the way, it's really easy to set up, I've already tried to build one and it work perfectly fine, you just have to modify the package.json as in the following example (just be sure to not write (Un)colored for the name because it's not supported by the snap system:
`
