Why don't you make Polo a Snap application? #217

was wondering why not, it would be a boxed app with everything in there...

I do not support snap and flatpack formats. These formats have various restrictions and break features in packaged applications. The package itself will be over 200MB if I include all dependencies. This creates a Windows-like situation where you have to download an extremely large file every time you need to update an application.
