Former Canonical Developer is Working on a Script that Replaces Snaps with Flatpaks

Alan Pope was a fantastic community manager, but as the headline says he left.
I’m happy to see him still in this sphere, contributing to a fine cause

Interesting, though I'm unsure why you'd bother with this. The script just searches for equivalent flatpaks and converts them. If there's no flatpak in existence for an app, it doesn't do anything to it. Just download the equivalent flatpak to begin with? Am I missing something?
Same reason why you'd automate anything. It saves you some time if that's what you're trying to do.
