Neat! I've been looking for something like this for when I do training sessions with people who are stuck behind firewalls, or aren't super okay with Putty. Having a point-and-shoot web based way of getting a remote session on a s

Amusing that you should mention Canonical "snaps". I made a snap of monolith and contributed the yaml upstream. https://snapcraft.io/monolith - it's in the edge channel because upstream haven't done a st

Not true. The snaps you list are not classic by virtue of being electron. There's plenty of electron apps in the snap store which are not classic, but strictly confined. It's the default for electron apps built with electron-build
