This is why I deleted Fig (https://fig.io/) right after installing it. It must've sent some uninstall information, too, because the creator/CEO emailed asking why I uninstalled it afterwards...

Oh yea, Fig is also the one that is Mac only but never mentions that fact anywhere on their website. Everything is written to just presume that the reader is on a Mac.

Their getting started instructions [0] are all just terminal commands too, and even that doesn't mention Mac once.

Not that it is not annoying, it is, but that's pretty common with Mac-only software in my experience.

It's even more common with windows-only software.

Every single tool in the console homebrew space, I swear. And it's not like the code isn't portable, it's usually just some command-line / batch thing; but they just don't bother to compile it for anything other than Windows; and then they don't release it as OSS for you to do so, either. The number of things I've had to run under WINE...

Hmm use mac and win heavily, not found that to be the case nearly as much on win10/11.

On the rare occasion it is truly just win, it's usually made clear far more than macos only.

"Send Download link" is a huge red flag. The only reason to have such a button is to send spam.
