Disclaimer

For some very good reasons, your average web apps aren't allowed (or limited) to interact with your system outside of browser. This tool overcomes said limitation by utilizing custom written Python server to launch the program instead.

This feature, while useful in a way, can be used to run a file that resides in your system with just a click of a link. That being said, this file mentioned here can be a malware which you don't know resides in your system. Its adviced you click Mesh's links only inside the app itself, while avoiding anything from external sources.
