Infographic: Snapcraft for developers

by Canonical on 6 March 2019

At the end of last year, we shared an infographic highlighting the adoption of snaps by users for their desktop, server or IoT devices. Those snaps wouldn’t be available without the growing number of developers building them behind the scenes.
