Feature request: Use Sparkle or other self-updating framework about hexfiend HOT 8 CLOSED

If we implement this, where can we host the appcast file?

from hexfiend.

IIRC something like https://raw.github.com/ridiculousfish/HexFiend/master/appcast.xml should work.

from hexfiend.

Or maybe even https://rawgithub.com/ridiculousfish/HexFiend/master/appcast.xml, if you want the correct mime-type.

I'll give that a try.

The Caveat
Use this for testing and for sharing demo code with friends, but don't use it for anything production-related. It's slow, it might break from time to time, and it's intended as a convenience for development, not free static hosting.
If you send production traffic to rawgithub.com, evil things will happen to your site. You've been warned!

from hexfiend.

Hmm, and github also discourages using raw.github.com for generic hosting. We'd probably be fine with that, although the maximally correct thing would be for the appcast to be hosted somewhere on ridiculousfish.com

@percontation yeah, that would be ideal.

Pulled this in as is for now. Issues can be dealt with as they arise :P
