AVG didn't like this app so I have to wait for their threat labs to analyze it, do you have any idea what would cause a false positive?
If I had to guess, it's because WriteRush hasn't been installed enough times for AVG to allowlist it and mark it as safe.
Other than that, I'm not sure what would cause the false positive. The desktop applications are built using Web2Executable (which uses NW.js). These are both open-source. The desktop versions use the same code as the web version, which you can find on GitHub and itch.
In the meantime, you can use WriteRush by downloading the "WriteRush v3.8 (ALL).zip" version, which runs in your browser. Also, I'll probably change the name of it "WEB" in the next update, because that's more intuitive than "ALL".
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and happy writing!

Alright, thank you very much. I'm sure AVG won't come up with anything fishy and then it probably won't bother anyone else about it
update: Yeah I checked and it opened smoothly this time. I thought AVG would give me a notification when it was done checking the file but apparently not?
I'm happy to have the web version as well, because while I don't understand the code of the windows version, I am familiar with html and css which means I get to mess around with it. Poking and prodding at code has become bit of a hobby of mine
