There hasn't been a new version since the end of 2016. Currently it's being very inconsistent, sometimes outputting to my output folder, and sometimes outputting to my input folder. Can't build a workflow around that!
According to virustotal your app behaves as malware a trojan. I tested this file: ffmpegsumo.dll. It tries to connect to many IP:s it tries to hide, it is looking if a debugger is present and if the file is run in a virtual machine altering antivirus programs and many more. It was some reading that made me find the program as very creepy.
This is a false-positive. Scout-App is made with NW.js. Anyone can make desktop apps with NW.js, it is a runtime environment, like .NET. A few people have used it to make infections, so some of the lazier anti-virus companies just flag ALL NW.js apps as viruses (this is pretty dumb). The correct thing to do is to contact these companies and tell them to fix the issue on their end. As far as network calls, the only online activity it does is hit GitHub's API to check for updates and load the GitHub Avatars for the contributers list in the about menu. Under the hood the UI runs in a Chromium browser, and I wouldn't be surprised if it phones-home to Google. Which may be what you're seeing? All of Scout-App is open source, you can look at it on GitHub.com/scout-app/scout-app
Practical for Development environment
Only supports SASS at this time (scss is for Sass). So if you want to use LESS, Stylus, PostCSS, you'll have to find another alternative
Because it's minimalist and easy to use, and because it runs on Linux.
Because I don't want to learn the command line yet and I run on Windows Operating Systems.
