Sorry about this - it's embarrassing. We've been snowed under getting Kite ready for launch and didn't want to touch the update mechanism right before launch. We _will_ get this fixed ASAP.

- atarian 10y agoThank you for adding the instructions. I wanted to use Kite until I realized I had to upload my code. I think you guys need to mention that in your landing page's copy.

- jchung 10y agoI disagree with your decision on what feature set was necessary to be launch ready. Not to put too fine a point on it but I think it's worth saying out loud that software that users can't quit out of is not ready for launch, especially if your docs clearly state that quitting the app is required for uninstallation.
- Msurrow 10y agoYeah, that doesn't work for uninstalling. The helper and engine keeps restarting when you quit them in step 2. rm -rf /Applications/Kite.app then kill the engine and helper Jesus, what a nice way to piss people off: 1. upload all code to cloud. 2. be hard to get rid off.
- vhold 10y agoYeah I immediately tried to uninstall it after seeing it required a login and had no preview functionality, and then immediately ran into the persistent process problem. Any application that puts a service like that on my system without my consent is blacklisted for life to be honest, there's no excuse for something like that. Later finding out it .. uploads your code to them.. it's really an insane thing, I think it's such a huge invasion of your machine and your privacy it should have been removed from the HN front page unless those facts were put immediate front and center.
