And since your application is not running as root the worst that can happen if you introduce a security hazard in your app is that only your files are endangered. I run several TG apps in user space and the only small problem I've had is the logistics of telling people if you have to move it somewhere else since a DNS alias doesn't help much with explicit port numbers in the URL.
