Don't forget that snaps came almost a year before flatpak. This is being parroted all over HN and still many don't know it and blame Canonical for reinventing the wheel, which is why I'm posting this.

Don't forget that FlatPak has been designed out in the open and plans were presented as far back as GUADEC 2013.
