I would feel a lot safer using it if sources were posted, or at least a binary that was not obfuscated. Especially since there are plenty of open-source tools which perform the same task.

I could be mistaken but I do believe there are not "plenty of open-source" tools which perform the same task exactly as my application. There is software that simulates key presses and mouse clicks, and maybe that is what you are relating to. The reason everything is obfuscated is I don't want someone to open reflector and get running source in a couple of seconds. If they want to copy and paste they will need to put some effort in haha. I will explain though how my program works on a code level for anyone who is interested.

First off, thanks for coding this. It's awesome and something I've considered doing myself but never got around to.

Having said that I've gotta agree with Pajlada that you're asking for a lot of trust from people to download an executable application that controls mouse movement and keypresses and connects to the internet to download things (decks) without seeing the source.

If you're planning on monetizing the application then fair enough (although if I'm honest I think you'd struggle), but otherwise making it open source only offers benefits to the project. If you're doing it as a vehicle for learning then you'll learn even more as people contribute / pull request. If you're doing it purely as a tool for the community then it'll develop faster (and with more trust) as open source.
