Re: Proxyman – native HTTP/HTTPS requests observation and manipulation app
#32Love 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 domain…
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.
I don't disagree that it makes economic sense in a lot of cases to go with these kinds of tools. I wonder though if this is really the direction we want to go as an industry. Do we reach some tipping point eventually? when our software is so inefficient that these things do start to matter again? Will we eventually hit hardware limitations that force us to rethink this practice? Maybe eventually there is some holy grail of cross platform productivity and performance to be had.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.

#34How different is this from Fiddler?
From what I use, Proxyman is pretty much the same with Fiddler, with nicer and friendly UI.
And Proxyman doesn't come with many advanced features. It's obvious because Fiddler is born 17 years ago.

#35Author of Proxyman here. The reason behind of Proxyman is to simplify Web Debugging for everyone. - Free-Distraction - Native app, feel like my home - Ease of use are the catalyst we ship Proxyman. Feel free to Ask me anything.
Nice app! Gonna test it sooner or later. Any plan for a Linux or Windows distribution?

For the Window, we're aiming to ship the first version at end of this year 2020. Stay tuned!

Are you connected to the development of this app? I noticed that every one of the comments in your account relate to it, yet this comment makes it sound like you're just an end user. The 'about' section in your HN profile ('ios dev') is basically the same as that of nghiatran_feels' ('iOS dev'), who on this thread claims to be the creator even though this Show HN was posted by someone else. You've mentioned this app before [0] only to have the same nghiatran_feels account respond with a marketing blurb. Incidentally, in another thread, nghiatran_feels presents himself as someone other than the creator [1]. This all feels a little astroturf-ey to me.
