It has an public codebase, so you can review the code yourself if inclined.

Sure, we could

Parse the code that the owner likely doesn’t fully understand

Figure out the application logic

Check the logic for anything that might cause unwanted side-effects

Check the logic for malware behaviour

Run tests (and review the test code because it’s also likely vibe coded)

Pray and beg that everything works

Repeat for the diff every time the software needs to be updated

Or we could warn others that the code and its owner should not be trusted.

  Especially because it is vibe coded. I wouldn’t even do this with every application on every update for a software that is written by good humans. At most for a single application I fall in love with.
