I love the product concept but the fact this person has an almost empty github and suddenly launches an app that can easily be spyware concerns me a lot :). A lot of security concerns with password etc.

Could easily dismiss those concerns by looking at the source code instead of snooping around their profile, especially if you’re on GitHub anyway :)

The way I would do it is I release a open source code without any spyware then prebuilt dmgs that contained it. Thus the lazy people would all get it if they dont self compile. As compiling a new thing takes another 1/2 hour or more for most people, they would be too lazy to do it.

Not saying the author has this intent, but if I was trying to spy on people, I wouldn't include spyware in the initial release...
