I can't help feeling that it looks visually similar to Proxie[0] Disclamer: I am the author of Proxie. [0] https://proxie.app

I think it's just an example of "convergent evolution". A tool like this will necessarily have a list of requests and a way to easily examine each one of them in detail. One of the well-known Windows equivalents is not that different either:

Which looks similar to Charles Proxy too... https://www.charlesproxy.com

Or Burp Suite. It's hard to design a brand new UI for the same functionality...

$50 each year per device for a closed source application that can be written in half a day? I don't think this is 2003 anymore but the author knows his audience and didn't even bother to write it for anything other than Mac. Again, this feels very heartbreaking when compared to all quality FOSS apps out there.

Okay HN I will take your downvotes as an indicator and tell everybody do not opensource your next weekend project and share it first on ProductHunt and pay $100 for 200 upvotes to some indian kid to make it the product of the day and sell it as subscription!

You are being childish to say the least.

There is no obligation to open source your work just as there is no obligation for you to pay for or use this software. Shallowly dismissing the developer's work is not really in the spirit of HN and is referenced in the guidelines.
