Comment on Show HN: I built an app for when I talk too much in online meetings

Hey bredren.

Wow. Thank YOU for putting in the effort of sharing your feedback. I agree that many of those would be helpful and likely part of a paid version at some point.

> I'd still recommend requiring zero network requests as you've done on this version, even though the analytics might be useful.

I know, right? It's how I wish an app behaved. The conversation we're having is a thousand-fold more _interesting_ than "312 uSeRs cLicKeD pLaY."

> Starting with this high level of privacy is how you get someone like me to be comfortable allowing your app to run on my machine.

I'm the same way. I had a whole FAQ guide on how to poke holes into the app.

> Q: How do I know this app isn't shipping malware? > A: Me claiming it’s safe is impossible to prove to you. Instead, here’s a good book for malware analysis on macOS that you can use to poke holes into the app: https://taomm.org/vol1/read.html

Is that weird or should I put it in?
