Windows blocked the execution of the program

Hi,

First of all, this looks fantastic!
I've downloaded the Windows version, however when using the .exe a window pops up telling me 'Windows has protected your computer'. Under the details it tells me the author of the program is unknown.  I have no experience with creating programs so I don't know the importance of this. 
Thought I should let you know about it.  You can still execute the program afterwards under the 'details' options. (Haven't done this yet, though, just in case.) (My system language is French so the popups and warnings could be phrased differently.)

Thanks in advance

Hi AndroItch and thank you for your feedback.

Unfortunately what you are experiencing is common to many “home-made” software that do not have a certificate. For the time being I don’t see any other workaround to going beyond the pop-up as you did. In the future I might consider buying one of those certificates for both Windows and macOS.
