This is pearl clutching. This feels like a massive overreaction. If you don't want to use it because it's not open source, that's fine, but you're spreading a lot of snarky FUD about the creators.
They are not making excuses, they stated clearly why open sourcing it is tangential to this problem at best, and they're not the only user to call out the hijacking of the thread. They have been quite clear about why they keep it closed source, so I don't know why you're making it sound like they are lying to their users.
Your rant about audits has little to do with the article too. Telling everyone we're going to get rug pulled is exactly the kind of performative FUD that is meant to get a reaction more than anything.
Speaking for myself, I'm going to keep using it, because nothing has come close to the convenience and performance. Would love an open source alternative to prove me wrong, but I haven't seen it.
"Oh, please, say you want to keep it closed source because you're afraid you'll lose money and control."
That's not good enough for open source zealots. That's when you end up being the headliner in an endless flood of blog posts and detailing comments telling everyone you're a 'proprietary evil man'.
It's open source or nothing. And how dare you make money.
LMAO. That won't happen in a million years. They are bending over backwards not to give proper file access on iOS so they can sell subscriptions. Do you think they would do such a crazy thing? I bet you my life savings it won't happen.
They are being roasted in the comments because they give file access to the plugins, now they are bad because they don't give file access. There is no winning lmao
How would that make a difference for plugin security? Almost all plugins are already open source.
If you mean for the security of the app without plugins you can currently inspect the app's code in app.js and review third-party audits:

you’re basically hijacking this post. this is almost entirely irrelevant. CERTAINLY highly tangential.
