Hi. I am developer of electron-builder tool, that creates snaps for Electron applications.

My main concern that there is no place where I can find official clear up-to-date information about creating desktop applications.

Maybe I am stupid, but I cannot find such docs.

No such information on docs. https://snapcraft.io/build-snaps/

Clicking on "wide range of project types" I see https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/tree/master/demos where there is https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/blob/master/demos/qt4-text-editor/snap/snapcraft.yaml but where is information about gnome-platform that radically reduces snap size?

Why I should waste my time and find posts http://forum.snapcraft.io/t/should-ubuntu-app-platform-still-auto-connect/1698 where stated that now ubuntu-app-platform is deprecated.

Sorry that I little bit expressive, but I really want to create snap for Electron as best as possible and lack of official documentation makes this process not pleasant. Because I cannot be sure that created snap will really work correctly.

Using https://parts.snapcraft.io/v1/parts.yaml as a docs is strange and not a good way.
