The Ubuntu Accomplishments system provides a simple, cohesive way to browse different opportunities in the Ubuntu community and beyond, find out how to participate and accomplish them, and see different accomplishments in one place.
Ubuntu Accomplishments requires a beta feature of snapd to operate correctly. To enable this feature, run the following before installing Ubuntu Accomplishments:
sudo snap set system experimental.user-daemons=true
The original Ubuntu Accomplishments was written by Jono Bacon and Stuart Langridge along with numerous trophy contributors. It has now been completely rewritten by Dani Llewellyn using Dart and Flutter. The trophies are handled by python scripts which are largely unchanged from their state as at the original project's disbandment in 2013 when Ubuntu One File Synchronisation service, which the system originally relied upon, went away.
Because we do not use a file synchronisation service any more you are free to choose your own, or even work without a synchronisation service for your trophy files. The trophies are saved to your home directory at $HOME/snap/ubuntu-accomplishments/common/trophies. You may add this folder to your preferred sync service such as Nextcloud or Dropbox to keep your trophies synchronised across your Ubuntu systems.
This is very much a beta release which might contain bugs that I've introduced during the porting to Flutter and Dart. Also, at this early release some of the accomplishments might be broken or irrelevant. Please report any bugs you find to https://github.com/UbuntuAccomplishments/accomplishments-snap/issues.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
Versions of Kubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) don’t include snap by default, but snap can be installed from the command line as follows:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
To install Ubuntu Accomplishments, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install ubuntu-accomplishments
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
