danFLP No, unfortunately I don't have any news on this request. We appreciate the feedback, and I've sent it along to the team.
It's been more than a year for this request. Why don't you all get some open source repositiories and get help from the community for these things? You can still make sure that any API is as secure or more so than the desktop apps.
