Eric abcz.co.uk/rtl-watch Constructive criticism please?
Mark Dain Is this something you built? If so, it looks really amazing! Well done! I'd love to hear your experiences building with Cocoa+Swift. Now for constructive feedback: I'd look into getting the app signed so you're an identified developer, otherwise I have to whitelist in Gatekeeper. If you don't have the command line app installed, it seems to not open :( You could check for it in $PATH and if it's not there, display a helpful error message with a link/instructions to download. Otherwise it's good. Perhaps there's some aesthetic improvements that can be made on the preferences window but I can't really comment on that.

Eric Yeah, built upon the command-line app rtl_power, cheers! Been really fun building it, though a bit messy since this was my first time really giving Swift a good go (best way to learn is by building a project right?). I've fixed the issue you found, now if you don't have rtl_sdr installed it will open but tell you off, I'll improve the error message at a later date (I'm ill right now so I'm not gonna be writing documentation lol). The aesthetics of the preferences window are gross but there's not much else I can think of doing with it.
