Welcome to... Snapcraft.io!

[Fabio Colella]

That's awesome, I really hope it helps to improve the software distribution
on all Linux distros. Now it would be great to have snapcraft as a snap
package too, so that's easy also to package software in other distros as
well.

One note too, the tutorial should not assume the user to be on Ubuntu
16.04, but *just* to have the latest snapd package installed in his/her
favourite distibution ;)
