That's correct, the snap support currently takes existing snap recipes
inputs similar to how it takes MPs as inputs to build debs.

Yes.

Not true. The current iteration automates the addition of the bileto ppa
during the snap build.

So if you have a ticket that is just a snap, you're right, clicking snap in
bileto is not very different than clicking build on an lp snap recipe. But
if you have a ticket with a pile of packages in the ppa, and your snap is
built from those debs, then it makes sense to use the bileto snap button.

Yep, i will continue working on it. Just want to release early and often so
i can iterate on feedback from users.
