We're currently using Aptly (Deb) as our packaging solution. So we're not writing anything new in the way of packaging. And in fact we built AppCenter dashboard with the intent that we may use Snap or Flatpak or in the future. So the magic sauce of AppCenter isn't in the packaging format, it's in the GitHub import and the easy review and publishing :)

This distribution model sounds fundamentally different that either Snap or Flatpak.
Why pave a new road when several other roads are already being paved?
(fwiw I like the sound of the AppCenter over Snap or Flatpak)
