From what I understand it's not a simple rebrand. Cacher doesn't work with GitHub gists like GistBox worked (now it's their own backend), and it's a paid application.

Good to hear about electron based apps! Waiting for the Linux version.

The biggest Polish software news site removed Maxthon from its database: http://www.dobreprogramy.pl/Maxthon-to-spyware.-Polscy-badac...

TL;DR: It doesn't matter if you agree to join "User Experience Improvement Program" in Maxthon or not - the browser regularly sends this data to Beijing servers:

  - Windows service pack version,
  - screen resolution,
  - Maxthon version,
  - CPU freq,
  - Maxthon path,
  - adblock info,
  - startup site address,

and the most important:

  - ADDRESS OF EVERY VISITED SITE - full history, with every query entered in google,
  - every ~5 reports - FULL LIST OF INSTALLED SOFTWARE (with exact versions).

Indeed. I didn't took into account the possibility of having my access to AWS service cut off if there are some problems on the shop account side. Looks obvious now.

It is good that Amazon is protecting user accounts. But the way it was handled in my case is scary - writing just that my "account is closed", it "cannot be reopened" and it's the end, when I have a few sites running on AWS managed to frighten me ;) Maybe they would try to contact me before by phone if I didn't live in Eastern Europe, who knows?

Fortunately, an hour ago I received an email from Amazon saying that my account has been reinstated, so these few times I've contacted them about this problem have an effect.

There was no notification before closing my account. I've just received an email: "Your Amazon Payments account has been closed" and thats it. It happened a good few hours after receiving "Payment initiated" email (about my Humble Bundle payment).

I'm using NordVPN. It's the first time I've used Amazon Payments through VPN. As Amazon writes: "our records indicate that an unauthorized person has logged into your account" - I don't think it can be connected to anything other than using the payments through the vpn from another country.

Gists are great, but GitHub interface for them is poor - it's nothing new. So I've used GistBox, but still I think its interface is too busy and too much space is wasted. I wish only to quickly figure out my gists organization and find what I seek, not much more (except for backup). So I've created this little tool for myself. I like it so, and I hope it will be also a help for a few people.
