At this point, it seems there's nothing that can be pointed out simply and briefly enough. It's more like: if I spent time on a Snap project, it would give me some perspective. While I'm sure that's true, I can't justify the effort for that right now without any particularly compelling reason besides just learning about different approaches.

I would certainly love for Greg and others with Snap experience to get involved with Snowdrift.coop and maybe they will occasionally have Snap-inspired suggestions that are appropriate and applicable to us… -- Aaron Wolf Snowdrift.coop <https://snowdrift.coop> _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/dev
