In an effort to continually improve both my linux and python skills, I decided to build a snapcraft app, which is the universal “app store” for linux machines.

What started off as a seemingly easy process turned into a weekend-long angst-filled coding episode that left me more agitated than not. The process for creating a snap seemed completely foreign to my hacky, data science code tendencies, but eventually I created a successful build and pushed the app to the website.
