How do you change the delay for showing the UI? > Delay before showing the UI to avoid flashing (default 200ms) What's flashing? Have you thought about enabling going backwards by pressing ` while control is held down?
I like this idea a lot, just tried it now however and the UI is a bit too slow for how fast I like to switch between apps, espically on multiple desktops - takes about a second to show up and swaps to the active monitor instead of staying on the main like command+tab does. Will follow this!
(Don’t worry, it’s still updated and maintained.)

I believe OP means that if you press Alt+Tab and release the keys quickly, it'll simply swap to the last window without showing ("flashing") any UI overlay at all.
The delay may be the reason others here are noticing that it's "slow".
The alt-tab feature in HS also has a flaw: if you switch to an app via the dock icon (or possibly by clicking on one of its windows), all windows of that app become ‘recently used’ in the alt-tab menu. I'm guessing this might be a behavior of MacOS, and that you might run into the same problem.

Is this a way to switch between multiple windows of one app?

Cmd + did nothing.

The Windows one doesn't --- at least on XP, that is; Alt+Tab causes the switch window to show up the instant it's pressed. The delay may be the reason others here are noticing that it's "slow".
I'm excited to give this a try, though I wonder if there's a way to replace command tab with it instead of control tab. This little bit of UX is seriously one of those things you notice in Windows, if you're primarily a Mac user, and go "holy shit, I'm missing out." Windows 10, faults aside, actually does have some pretty clever UI/UX in spots that I really wish Apple would just "steal," because it (MacOS) sort of fe…
Things like per-window or per-app settings:
- borderless
- opacity
- default an app to a virtual desktop, position and size, even sub-types of windows (e.g. when you want children to appear in some designated place)
- a few well-placed magnets (sides, center, other windows) to quickly resize 'perfectly' (my OCD loves it haha)
- activities (more like a meta-organization, so powerful when switching tasks/context like home / work / hobby / etc.
- custom shortcuts for anything (any of the above, launch any app, optionally with command-line options)
and so much more...
