Build Ubuntu snappy app installer (self contained)

[senorsmile]

I just listened to your convo on CMOS, and thought we should create an issue so we don't forget about this:

Ubuntu snappy apps are self contained installable programs that just work! They are initially supporting Ubuntu, but are working with the community to support practically every other Linux distribution as well!

"Snappy"! I totally forgot the name of the packages during the interview. Thank you!

I'm planning to build packages, some time early next year.

Released to the ubuntu store now. Can you try to install it @senorsmile?

sudo snap install convos --channel=candidate

[jhthorsen]

I can't see Convos in https://uappexplorer.com/apps?type=snappy&q=convos&sort=relevance

Maybe it's because I only did a release candidate?

It's now visible:

I had forgotten to release it from the web ui: https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/click-apps/7312/rev/2/
