snandasena/snappy-playpen

A place to test, learn creating snaps and share best practices.

The snappy playpen

Project status

The Snappy Playpen used to be place, where we learned from each other and documented best-practices. This was useful in the very first days of snapcraft, but after more and more discussions we realised that it's time to merge the best examples into the snapcraft code itself. This is where most eyeballs go.
