The name of the application is "Filezilla", not "Filezilla (UNOFFICIAL)". The text description of the application name sufficiently describes the application and where it came from. I don't believe the CAPITAL LETTERS suffix to this (and other) snaps is really necessary, and is quite jarring when browsing the store.

Hello. As this snap is in devel quality I would take any necessary measures to make it even less appealing than the native distribution. Especially when in this case the user count is still increasing in a very (scary) rate:

The text description of the application name sufficiently describes the application and where it came from.

Past experience tells us that people don't really fully read an app's description before hitting the install button.


As the upstream doesn't have a great impression on these agnostic software distribution technologies in the first place I don't wish to risk giving them a bad image of a poorly maintained, misleading distribution which may make them even less likely to adopt the work.

I may consider dropping the postfix on some snaps that are well maintained, but not this one at the moment.
