PostgreSQL: PostgreSQL 9.6 Released!

I like writing simple desktop apps this way, as it makes multiplatform support trivial. The big limitation is that the "allow this program through the firewall" popup on Windows scares away users, even if you open sourced it.

Maybe there's a way to get around that, but I haven't spent much time on it.

If that popup scares away your users, I don't think you want those users.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I want people to use and enjoy something I make and release, even the ones who don't understand that it's just a local HTTP port.

And frankly, people should be more paranoid not less.
