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

VS Code is the example I always use when someone is hating on Electron too - yes, it's possible to make slow, memory-hungry Electron apps, but VS Code shows it doesn't have to be this way. Honestly, VS Code is so performant you would think it was a native app.

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 domain…

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…

Intriguing sleuthing. I'd add that both accounts have very similar grammar style. Good vocabulary, but with odd grammatical errors.

All incidental of course, but still. I believe your theory. Embarrassing and slightly pathetic if true.

Also, the account was created right around when nghiatran_feels first started posting about Proxyman (5 months ago).

I love VS Code but I wouldnt go that far. Sublime Text is far snappier - but I use VS Code anyway.

The real lesson is that performance matters but its not the only criteria for a successful app.

How do you explain this comment, where you say you know the solo guy working on proxyman, and you say he is ambitious to be better than Charles?

Are you talking about yourself in the third person? Very confusing.

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!

Curious about how it matches up against Fiddler.
