My December 2019 Linux Snap Package Metrics
Posted onI maintain a few Snap packages (installable Linux software packages) and I’ve been very interested in the metrics that Snapcraft (the Snap Store) provides. It’s a (minor) indicator of how large the snap user base is (or at least growth) as well as how useful a snap may or may not be. In October of 2018 I started this Linux Snap Package Metrics series and I’m trying to report back every month with the numbers until someone tells me otherwise 😄.
Here’s the metrics for snaps I maintain for the past month:
| Snap | # Active Devices | % Change |
|---|---|---|
| circleci | 1,104 | +0.2% |
| cu-ddns | 27 | +28.6% |
| hub | 2,835 | +12.3% |
| linode-cli | 96 | +28.0% |
| pocket-casts | 625 | +1.1% |
| scc | 216 | +36.7% |
| stubb | 61 | n/a (new) |
| zsync | 169 | +3.0% |
There’s a single item of note here:
Stubb is a new Docker metadata/utility tool I made. Check it out.
