Not necessarily related to this or the author, but with all the supply chain attacks going on this year I sadly lost all trust in running something from a new GitHub repo that doesn't come from some trusted person/entity.
Love the idea btw, reminds me of a similar app that added xmas light to the dock.
I had the same thought, and it's kind of interesting that the top install instruction in the repo (https://github.com/saragordic/window-sweaters#get-it) is to install it with an LLM agent:
> Install Window Sweaters on my Mac: https://github.com/saragordic/window-sweaters
I just prepended that prompt with "Check if this is safe and doesn't make network requests, then". Which I actually think is safer than relying on Homebrew, or even an App Store install, where you have no idea whether the source code actually produced the build you're installing.

My immediate thought. Looks fun, but the late 90s and early 2000s taught most of us. A new generation is about to discover some nightmares.
Maybe it's about time we stop sharing vibe coded app binaries and start an app store for trading prompts to run on our own local coding LLMs instead.
