Hey Brandon, excellent feature request. I actually started building this out about 2-3 months ago, but I had to set the feature aside for a bit. However, I have all of my code sitting in a feature branch still, and I completely agree: this is a necessary feature that Displagent has lacked for far, far too long.
Once I finish Compound Slideshows, I think I'll move right to this.
Quick question: would you like automatic updates to have some sort of On/Off toggle, where you can choose whether to enable them or not, or is that not a big deal for you?

Daniel Miradakis:
Awesome!
Including an on/off for auto updates would be nice, but I'm not overly concerned about it. If you decide to include it, you'd also have to decide what its default value should be. Again, I don't feel strongly one way or another about that.
Great work on the site by the way.

Brandon Rudisel: Agreed, I'll consider adding an On/Off toggle with a default value of On. Even though it's a desktop app, I think it will serve the app much better to function more like a web app in this regard: better to auto-update than leave old version hanging around.
Thanks for giving me some context!
Also thank you for the kind compliment on the new site redesign! : )
