I couldn't find the Linux version, perhaps something is wonky with the browser/os detection, it's assuming I'm on a mac and showing macOS screenshot previews, etc.

We're aiming on macOS version firstly. Then expanding to Windows and Linux in this year. Stay tuned!

it's macOS only.

We wouldn't follow cross-platform tech since it invades the design principle and the native feeling from each platforms. On macOS, we strictly follow macOS Human Interface Guideline from Apple and it turns out that lot of people love it :D

Love to see someone actually put the work to develop a native macOS app these days. People would prefer electron-based apps to reduce the workload on shipping to multiple platforms but they forget the feeling of the end-users, who are usually using one platform at the time. For me, it's macOS so I don't care whether the app also ships on Linux or not.

The app is intuitive and the way we could select particular domains or apps to intercept. Good job.

What are differences btw Charles Proxy and Proxyman?

Basically, it's a fresh air for Web Debugging app with native macOS UI :D

If you're familiar with other tools like Charles or Fiddler, you could switch to Proxyman since those functionalities are the ready much the same. The UI is thoughtful and we put of lot of works to re-design the UI to make it super easy to get started.

Let check the Map Local or Install Certificate menu too see how it looks like.

Fun fact: The number of users, who are complain how to install the Certificate is significantly dropped down when we re-design the Installation Guideline Windows. It means they could make it without googling :D

I have a recent computer with enough ram and the feeling of electrons apps on GNU/Linux and Windows is quite good. I'm not sure the majority of people do notice a difference anymore.

For sure if you run electrons apps on a old potato pc with less performances than a new smartphone it's not ideal but I feel like most companies don't really target users in this situation.

RAM and the performance are not a problem with me too since I use the latest MacBook 16". The reason I concern is the feeling of using the native app. Buttons, Labels, SplitView, Multiple-Tab,... are pretty much the same what I use with Finder and Calendar and I'm really happy about it. I believe that the author would have a plan to write native Window and Linux apps soon.

$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!

not indian but Indian with a capital I. But why pick on Indians in particular ? Please be civil and keep your racism at home.

I use VSCode every single working day, and it's electron-based app. It's the best cross-platform app I've used
