Probono, creator of AppImage, in an attempt to get AppImage support, is banned from the OBS Studio organization on GitHub after downright rude comments and accuses them of supporting Flatpak because of the bounty offered by RH. "In any event, please do not bother our project anymore"
A tool that is capable of bundling everthing (including glibc, libstdc++. and gcc 9 runtime libraries) like https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder or go-appimage appimagetool -s deploy may be better suited for the meantime
- appimage-builder v1.0.1 is here

I have an application (written in python) which uses libadwaita. How would I create an AppImage that contains all required dependencies for this app?
AppImage Builder Can Be Configured To use Pacman Too. Look At This Example And Umm Yea LibAdwaita is Not Available in Most Repositories.
- Good news AppImage makers and Arch Linux users! Now it's possible to use the appimage-builder generator feature to create bundle recipes using pacman. This is feature comes with a great remake of the whole generator implementation. Give it a try

Cons of Using snap
The current Snap Store is not open source. The one you referenced is dead as proven by the repo you're article refers to: https://github.com/noise/snapstore/

If you're referring to the old HOWTO article for hosting your own snap store server, the software it used to do that stopped working several years ago.

Can some one explain to me in basic terms why snaps are so disliked?
That's nice and all, but besides the complete lack of official serversoftware that can be hosted by anyone, I'm going to guess that forcing another URL would mean that it uses that repo INSTEAD OF the official one. With regular package managers and Flatpaks, that's not the case. You can add repo's in ADDITION to the originals with those. The only mention of a self-hostable snap server that I can find, is this one. However, it is an unofficial server and has been depreciated. In other words: it's not compatible/functional with the latest version of Snapd (the clientside) anymore and will remain like that.
- Are flatpaks the future? I tend to agree.

Is releasing via Snap that bad?
interesting read. unfortunately, the 'snapstore' github project (here) that it links to now says:

After 1.5 years of using Ubuntu I decided to migrate to Fedora today... so yeah, hello world!
Your link is an blogpost from 2016 that points to: https://github.com/noise/snapstore README: snapstore was a minimalist example of a "store" for snaps, but is not compatible with the current snapd implementation. As a result I have removed the contents here to avoid further confusion.

Ubuntu 21.04 Released
In fact, Bret Barker has published an open source (Apache License) SNAP store on GitHub. We’re already looking at how to flesh out his proof-of-concept and bring it into snapcore itself.
