Hi Zack,
Seems you are doing lots of cool stuff ;)
But I am one of those strange people who really hate it that every separate tool has their own updater (which can be used for tracking a user, as the set of updater tools polling servers makes a fingerprint in the same way other flows make a fingerprint).
And thus I run Little Snitch and block those updates. Till I deem it a good time for the update to be done and trigger it manually.
As such, when you get to the stage of adding features, it would be good if there was: - an option to disable the auto fetching - an option to trigger the fetching - to feed the update mechanism with a pre-fetched file (eg provided through a different update mechanism)
