I wonder how hard it would be, in theory, to write an open-source "cracked" version of snap that lets you do these things.

  The Snap server is closed source, so this would require building an open source Snap server as well. At this point, it would be much simpler to use Flatpak or some other solution.

    I hate snap as much as anyone, but it may not be as hard as you think: <https://ubuntu.com/blog/howto-host-your-own-snap-store> https://ubuntu.com/blog/howto-host-your-own-snap-store>

      The difficult part is maintaining compatibility with snapd. > snapstore was a minimalist example of a "store" for snaps, but is not compatible with the current snapd implementation. As a result I have removed the contents here to avoid further confusion. https://github.com/noise/snapstore/ https://github.com/noise/snapstore/

  Why not simply use Flatpak instead?
