Having worked with remote teammates, I'm open to anything that makes people feel more like they're part of a common workplace.

I felt nervous using an installer on my Mac, but when I go to my PC later today I'll try that version. Sounds like a cool concept.

I'm curious why you are nervous to install software on OSX? Mac installers should generate a log of everything that has been placed/modified on your computer.

Bad experiences in the past of having to remove many different files from different places.

This particular installer is a .app rather than a .pkg. I don't think there's anything that would make a .app log all of its changes.

There are apps that do that now, AppZapper, etc.

Please add a symbol to red and green so they are differentiable to R/G colorblind people

8% of North American males are Red/Green colorbind

Perhaps thumbs up/sideways/down, or Octagon, square, circle

I wish I didn't have to pay for another app to uninstall other apps :/

Good call, hadn't thought of that.
