Automatically build and publish Node and Electron applications for Linux

[flexiondotorg]

An introduction to snapcraft.io and electron-builder, tools that enable you to deliver your Node and Electron applications to millions of Linux users. Packaging for Linux used to be hard, that has changed. The Snapcraft team have built a platform that makes it simple to build and publish your applications so they run on all the major Linux distributions. It gives you tools to deliver updates at a high frequency without compromising stability. Push a commit and it will automatically build for free in the store for your users.

Hi Martin, Thanks for your proposal - and nice to meet you on Wednesday. This looks good.

Apart from the introduction to what it is and the philosophy behind snapcraft - if it's possible I think our audience will really enjoy a practical walk through the capabilities - how to deploy a simple node/electron app - and maybe mentioning any of the specific challenges/opportunities we may face with our stack.

Would it be possible to shape your description above to reflect a more specific focus on the node/js developer's experience?
