As someone who publishes a small software as a side-project, signing my bundles is a pain in the a*.
You not only need to shell out some 100$ to stupid companies like comodo who should not even exist, but also need to incorporate a company or do some crazy paper work to get it.
If any fellow small windows side project developer has a solution I’ll be happy to hear.
Yeah this put me off from trying it out and maybe using it long term.
It's interesting at how jaded you can become from a first impression. The lack of SSL on the website made me think the author doesn't care about the project or maybe there's security vulnerabilities in their application. Or even worse maybe there's hidden telemetry in the closed source app that will send back lists of files or even file contents back to their server insecurely. I didn't want to have to spend all day analyzing Wireshark while exploring all of the features of the application to see what it may or may not send over the network.
All of that from no SSL certificate and unsigned software. It looks good and I'd like to try it but these open questions in my mind are more dangerous than having a better file browser.
