null

#null  #snap  #linux  I “wrote” the talk about 30 minutes before giving it, and didn’t fully test everything until I was on stage, in front of half the company.For fun, in an interactive way with the audience, I made a snap called null with the intention of it being almost completely empty, hence the name. My fun null snap is now successfully published, and unfathomably has almost 100 “users”!The fun thing about doing these things like setting emoji in your name, or naming things weirdly, is they don’t tend to cause only one problem, once.Publishers of snaps get an email once a month titled “Your Month In Snaps” which gives them a summary of the number of active users for each of their snaps.I recently received one such summary mail which was truncated where it got to the null and stopped. It’s a poisonous well of endless fun.I reported this to the team behind the emails, and it’s now fixed.The Snap Store has a delightful open source web frontend, the source code for which is on GitHub. I noticed that some parts of the UI wouldn’t work when I was looking at the information for my (now published) null snap. This turned out to be another bug which has been fixed now too.I like the comment from Francisco “Your null snap should be working now (Until next null issue)”.Excellent.I feel like all of these are minor successes.
