As some users are against the\nSnap Store (due to its limitations, restrictions and policies), this \nrepository aims to provide an easy solution for all users who want to have\nDiscord installed and upgradeable.\n\n## How it works?\n\nOn the one hand, Discord is available for downloading from the official\nwebsite, using the following URL: \nhttps://discordapp.com/api/download?platform=linux\u0026format=deb\n\nWith that in mind, the file `lookup-server.py` just runs every fifteen\nminutes and downloads the latest .deb file provided by that link. Then, \nusing the `reprepro` program, the PPA is updated and, if a new version is\navailable, served to the users.\n\nIn that way, the PPA is always up-to-date (with a delay of at most 15\nminutes) and the end-user can have the stable installation of Discord\n(or beta one) in their computers.\n\n## Installation\n\nPlease, refer to https://blog.javinator9889.com/discord-ppa-keep-it-up-to-date-on-linux-easily/ for up-to-date instructions:\nsome things changes and the blog is constantly being updated.\n\nYou can browse the repository at the following URL:\nhttps://ppa.javinator9889.com\n\n## License\n\n```\n                                Discord PPA\n                    Copyright (C) 2020  Javinator9889\n\n    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify\n    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by\n    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or\n    (at your option) any later version.\n\n    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,\n    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of\n    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
