Intent to package: Snaps are universal Linux packages

Dear maintainer(s),

Snaps are universal Linux packages that can be installed and run on many GNU+Linux distributions with ease. I've been following the Snapcrafters instructions and have built a working snap on the Snap Store, you may try it by running the following commands after installing snapd:

sudo snap install --channel=edge --devmode simplescreenrecorder-brlin
sudo snap install core
sudo snap connect simplescreenrecorder-brlin:alsa

Currently, the only feature that is not working is the OpenGL recording, which is technically not seemed to be possible due to the confined and dependency-separated nature of snap apps. In addition to make it build under non i386/AMD64 architectures, this feature is currently disabled in the snap.

I'm also looking forward to working with you to make the packaging work upstream (if you're interested). You may want to check out the current packaging recipe, the documentation, registering a developer account on the Snap Store, and get in touch with us to transfer the work under your control.

Thanks for your time and attention.
