I downloaded from the email link again (accidentally skipping over your first recommendation), and ... it seems like maybe something is broken in the UI. It doesn't show anything for an interface:
The output window contains this message:

Surprisingly, if I click on the upper-left corner (where I know the "open" button should be), it does open my file explorer.
However, if I then try to select the designspace which I was previously using in Skateboard (so I am fairly certain is valid), RoboFont then crashes. Just before I do select a file, this appears in the output window:
I'm guessing maybe some kind of simple syntax error might be causing this.
