@pontusab @chrismessina - Just tired to paste my password in from 1Password and it doesn't work. - There is also no way to quit the app - No desktop command shortcuts work (cmd + a, cmd + v, etc..)

@pontusab congrats on the launch! I'm curious if you'd consider embedding the new Ride Request Widget for the UI when it's available? Might be easier to maintain over time since it's an official Uber product?

@chrismessina Thanks, When I started of 3 months ago there where no Widget and the main focus was to learn and use React and Electron, but yes I think Its better to use the widget later on :)

@pontusab @chrismessina Booking an Uber from your mac is a clever idea :) One suggestion from my end is if the app could also shows surge mode whenever required it will be good to go, right now it just gives the rate but user is not aware whether the surge is on/off. Building anything from pain points will definitely work. Good luck
