"CudaText” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
Now, I realize that I can just right-click open it, but I'm wondering - how hard is it to sign executables on OS X these days? Do people not do it because they have to pay for a developer account? I run all the usual suspects on my laptop (Little Snitch, Little Flocker, Block Block) - but it would be nice to have the (admittedly small) extra layer of protection from a signed binary. Particularly one that is downloaded from SourceForge....

I do not do macOS or iOS app dev for a living, and paying $99 a year for next to no return is ridiculous. I completely understand that users would want extra protection (I do too as a user), but if it really feels important enough to you, please step up and help deal with the situation. Start (and help managing) a Kickstarter project, a Patreon campaign, you name it. But please actually do something instead of just throwing out "suggestions."
