SNAP seems preferred over FlatPak because it supports more than just GUI apps (example SystemD services).

(Examples: JetBrains PyCharm, Spotify, PlexMediaServer, NextCloud, VisualStudioCode, VLC, Remmina, FireFox, Brave, ...)

I would argue for flatpak because snap breaks posix and you will reach less users that way.

Additionally, if you use flatpak you can respect the users theme choices which would make Typora look more native on Linux. Flatpak is also the preferred globally in the FOSS community it seems and is probably the more stable choice going forward.

+1 for AppImage

antonincms commented 4 years ago

I agree with @mikeymop on the fact flatpak is more FOSS proof, since visibly snap will stay Ubuntu only, while flatpak is relatively agnostic even if pushed by Gnome / Fedora teams (Flathub is the "default" repo, but elementaryOS which is going to integrate flatpak is going to have his one). Furthermore, it has less overhead at start (initial mount of snap is really long), don't depend on Systemd (which makes it more compatible with any OSes), is more interesting on the management of dependencies as well as on the deduplication side. I don't really see finally the interest of AppImage, since you need as on Windows to ship all of your dependancies (no dependancies mounting), and you need to check your update yourself (no package manager).

I would do a flatpak version as well as a snap version (since it is relatively well integrated into Ubuntu).

+1 for a snap!

Another vote for snap as an official package. The app this way will be available in the ubuntu gui store and will be easily installable on many other distros like fedora and manjaro.

+1 for Flatpak for UI integration and less overhead.

syco commented 4 years ago

The link to the flatpak is dead, I made a new one, if anyone needs it: flatpak It's very easy to push new apps to flathub, you should have a look ;)

@abnerlee just giving you the heads up that @syco 's repo url was changed to the official Flathub organization. The new URL fo your top post is:

https://github.com/flathub/io.typora.Typora

I'm assuming you are leaving this issue open so people see it easier. ;-)
