Draft:GNOME Snapshot

GNOME Snapshot, often shortened to Snapshot, is a webcam application for GNOME originally created by Maximiliano Sandoval and Jamie Murphy that aims to be "the next-generation camera app for GNOME." GNOME Snapshot is also convergent, meaning it supports small form factors, such as mobile phones, and supports switching between front and rear cameras.

Features
GNOME Snapshot comes with a limited set of features, such as:


 * Countdown timer, ranging from 3, 5, and 10 seconds
 * Toggle the shutter sound

History
On 13 February 2020, an concept design for a new GNOME camera app was made by Tobias Bernard, a user interface and user experience designer at Purism, and member of the GNOME design team.

Almost three years later, Sandoval created GNOME Snapshot, taking inspiration from Bernard's concept design.

On 19 February 2023, Sandoval requested for GNOME Snapshot to join the GNOME Incubator, which is the start of the process of an app entering into GNOME Core. It has been accepted into incubation two months later.

On 2 June 2023, Sandoval requested a final review of GNOME Snapshot. Approval has been granted a month later, and entered GNOME Core on 19 July 2023.
