Hi All, This is a complete tutorial on snapping "how2", a nodejs command-line tool that searches for you on StackOverflow, and just outputs what was selected as the correct answer.
Being a nodejs program, it is messy to install with all the dependencies. So it was a very good candidate for snapping. There is a plugin for nodejs in snapcraft, so the whole process looks very easy to understand Also, the app only requires networking, so it is another example to only allow the "network" plug. Ideas for improvement and questions: 1. If we wanted to adapt the "network" plug to only allow access to specific IP addresses. etc, is it currently possible? 2. "how2" currently works over stackoverflow. It should be elemental to make it work over AskUbuntu.
