Could be making the same http/rest calls?

Sure but adding support and UI for every single WP plugin that exists isn’t feasible

Only need to support the most popular ones.

There are so many WP plugins that “support the most popular ones”, depending on your criteria, either still means supporting thousands of plugins, or means it won’t support the plugins I use

Indeed. The extension to WP-CLI is open source so if you're seriously interested, make a PR and I'll update the UI to accommodate it.

I just tested it. I really want to like it but i'll wait

Somethings i noticed. BTW using a Mac

App I get errors when trying to connect. Error: Connection lost before handshake and something else

Why cant i edit the saved site. Now i have to delete and add again. After doing that once, not gonna do it twice

Website Why is there no download app menu entry on the site. Now i have to login and figure out on the dashboard that there is a page with a link to a dropbox.

Just like a said. I really want to like it. But not now

Ok - thanks for your feedback!

I've been meaning to make saved sites editable - will implement this asap.

Regarding the app download, I figured you have to log in anyway to get the license key, and the direct download link is on the same page. The Dropbox link is only required for older versions of the app, and the latest version (1.0.6) includes auto updates. I get your point though - this process could definitely be improved; hopefully I'll have time tomorrow.

I'm not sure about the connection issue - I'll do some testing on my mac tomorrow to try to replicate the error, and will hopefully have an update very soon!
