One line of code that did cost $8k
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks checking every 5 mins is a little bit excessive!
Seeing as it's macOS only is there even any reason to roll your own update mechanism when you can use the Sparkle framework [1]?

What is the best method you guys use to distribute desktop apps over your websites?
The bucket contains dmg files and an appcast.xml that allows for updates. I'm using the auto_updater package, which in turn uses the popular Sparkle library.

Do I have to enroll in Apple Developer Program to distribute macOS applications as a final product?
Our build process is automated using fastlane. That handles building and testing the app as well as signing, notarizing and uploading to Amazon S3. We distribute via a link on our website -- Callisto. Updates are handled using Sparkle. We have a custom built appcast generator as part of our website that reads the S3 bucket and builds the feed that Sparkle uses.

Also, as a different approach, to some degree Ferdium can act as a central place for various messaging platforms even if the integration that Pidgin (and Adium) and libPurple provided is not possible this way. Station is similar and a bit better but is in desperate need of developers. Both are FLOSS.

Is there a place to suggest software you'd like to be on the AUR? If not, let it be here!
I've moved on to Ferdium by the way via the ferdium-electron AUR package. I also use Tuta, Skiff, Google Messages and YouTube Music with it.

I'm on linux and use Ferdium - believe that they have a mac version. Prepare to be blow away my friend -- its pretty much "Pidgin"(if you're that old to remember) for any web based application. I have it synced to so many thing.
