It's insanely cool and not dangerous at all. Why would it be dangerous?
But I'm sure the platform owners, notably Apple and Microsoft, will find ways to prevent the widespread use of such technology. You have to buy certificates, notarize, sign, get reviewed, etc., so they can make extra money off developers and keep total control of their users in the name of some fake security theater. That's why everybody is writing web apps instead.

- EasyMark 2y agoThat’s a rather specific case, why not have the apps on a company server that permitted people can fetch? Installers from the web? One app that works across Mac, Linux, PC is quite nice with only one code base to maintain. That’s just one way this is useful and shouldn’t be characterized as dangerous
