Download Atom editor without an invite

So there's only one comment that gives the impression that there's some kind of troll going on. Just to let you know: It actually works, nothing fishy just someone posting the direct link to the app that's exposed via their update Api.

There's no activation or anything, it will just take you straight into the app.

Hah, that was easy. Thanks.

It indeed works just fine. It looks very much like Sublime text as people have been saying. There's even a command palate.

One thing I noticed though straight off, it just doesn't feel as smooth as a native app. Is that just me?

EDIT: The gist was just removed. Glad I got it before it went down.

EDIT 2: The curl command still seems to be working:

    curl -L https://www.atom.io/api/updates/download -A "Atom/0.1 CFNetwork/1.5" > Atom.zip
