Well, even the zip was easily distributable. I don't think they really put much effort in licensing. I guess they make it semi-invite only to get some more hype? Or maybe just to limit the amount of testers..

Well there's no Linux version out yet, so probably not ;)

From the faq: "What platforms does Atom run on?

At the moment Atom only runs on OS X (10.8 or later). Windows and Linux releases are on the roadmap."

Nice idea, but for me this 5 line mac-specific shell script had two errors. Did anyone actually try this?

Here's a version that worked for me

   #!/bin/sh
   cd ~
   curl -L --insecure https://www.atom.io/api/updates/download -A "Atom/0.1 CFNetwork/1.5" > Atom.zip
   unzip Atom.zip
   mv Atom.app /Applications/
   rm -rf Atom.zip

That's probably not something you should have on HN.. I mean, sure, submitting it isn't wrong but distributing IP, not so good.

I am getting only {"message":"Not Found"} ... guess it doesn't anymore.
