This is rough. The ToDesktop guy started as a single dev (he might have a team now) and slowly built a successful product over time. This is my nightmare with anything I build.

OSS + Rust. Prev: @adbot. My goal in life is the ability to stop thinking at will

that’s the right approach, particularly in the context of sensitive data.

I once worked with a DeFi startup and their dashboard for trading’s strategies was a bundled Electron app in a similar manner. Easy to deliver and looks “premium” to have a native app. That raised al kinds of flags in my mind.

Sadly, this increases the number of moving pieces and a taller stack topples over quicker.

Fine for some cases (eg. maybe Linear doesn’t hold sensitive data), critical in others.

Good tips for protecting yourself. And maybe I shouldn’t, but I feel for the ToDesktop founder. He lost a huge customer (and probably many others) after this. Feels like it could happen to any of us.

the responsibility can’t fully lie on the tool dev, for sure

ultimately, whoever is closer to the end customer must regularly audit their choices
