Earlier quoted context omitted.

For Linux the script is doing "if chrome, else if firefox". Better to use xdg-open.

So it's looking for Chrome, a closed source browser that I'd never use, instead of Chromium. Too bad.

Seems like you can use any browser you'd like by going to: http://localhost:8833/

once the server is up and running.

Thanks for considering Windows user in this release.

I haven't been able to get it working on Windows 7. After much hoop jumping I've gotten stuck on this error while trying to run the jar:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't change/establish root binding of: warn-on-reflection with set (compiler.clj:1)

Are you running the jar with prod as an arg?

  java -jar lighttable-full.jar prod

I understand you're working fast and it's early. But not providing hashes and using a two stage downloader and not using ssl and using auto updates and not using code signing means that your app will now be the weakest link in terms of security for all but the worst configured computers. While it's almost certain no one is targeting you or your users now, that could change when people see such a weakness or could lea…

It's early and we honestly didn't think down those lines. Ultimately, the deployment mechanism will look different than this, but this was the path of least resistance. At the very least though we can do a few of these things to remove some of the danger - we'll get on it.

Yeah, I am not that exercised about the security risk but it made a really bad first impression. I primarily use Windows, I wouldn't mind so much if I were Unix-based. Also, installing it in my Documents folder under Windows is weird.

On the plus side, I like the prototype itself and will be interested to see where it goes.

Yes. I get the same result with or without the "prod" argument.
