Ueli: Windows Defender blocks Ueli installation
I don't know what's causing this and if anything can be done about it but I thought I'll let you know that Windows Defender blocks the start of the Ueli.exe.
It is possible to ignore this warning and run it anyway but I think this message will particularly scare off new users.

Thank you for your feedback! I am aware of this and this is documented in the installation section of the readme. Both Windows and macOS prevent the first execution of ueli because it is not code signed.
Why is ueli not code signed? Code signing an application on Windows requires a paid certificate and on macOS you need a Apple Developer ID which also costs 99$/year. At the current state I don't want to purchase either of these and I am totally OK with having the operating system blocking the app when opening the first time. I hope this answers your question :)
