Zas Editor developer here. I think it’s important to address a problem a few people have mentioned so far: no data is collected other than your Mac’s serial number, which used to be used for finding how many computers a license is used on (we no longer do that) We’re going to add a privacy policy in the website. We haven’t already done that because we didn’t really expect this much attention within hours of releasing. Honestly, we were expecting few downloads and more technical feedback.

At least from the website this looks really nice and brings with it some fresh ideas -- kudos on the ship! Tangential: Are you the only developer on this? How long did it take from first line of code to current state? This sees like a monumental effort, so curious.

It started out as a part-time side project and after a while I started working full time on it. So, I’m not sure I can give an accurate answer to your question.

Thank you for not releasing this software on a subscription / rent-a-software business model, and for reasonably pricing it. Most SaaS applications make me feel like a hostage to them, and just not worth the expense and hassle of it.

FYI, the mac serial number seems to fit under the European personal data definition. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-personal-data_en https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...
