GitHub for Windows is another beautifully designed Windows app. They even published a blog post about it: https://github.com/blog/1151-designing-github-for-windows
that app has less features than a rock.
Great application, please create one that can be run on Linux and Windows machines as a service and monitoried using such a beautiful client software.
Check this out https://www.glasswire.com/userguide/#Remote_Monitoring . We're considering Linux monitoring also.

How is this implemented exactly? Does the app phone home? Does it do some sort of RBL check (if so, against which servers)?
Thanks
Nice app. Please test it with the Windows classic theme (Windows 7/2008 R2), the "Glasswire" button is a bit glitchy. What's the overhead of Glasswire? For me it's 2-6% CPU (of my many core systems). What does the gwdrv.sys kernel driver do exactly? Hook into the TCPIP.sys kernel driver? Is the "Glasswire control service" an app update service? Blocking it in the "Firewall" tab has no negative side effect so far.
Wow. I hate how so many Windows applications are considerably uglier compared to Mac counterparts. The Windows apps don't seem to push forward Windows design but rather get stuck in the Windows XP design days. This is beautifully designed and clear. The graph visualization is prime, and I love that the peaks are "rounded" out instead of sharp declines (sharp declines would make it look more like a live stock ticker).…

It's also mentioned in the blog post you've posted.

Could you make it so when the graph rescales, it just doesn't snap into place, but gradually (say, animate over a half second) resizes?
EDIT: If I have GlassWire on my second monitor, and click "+ 2 more" to see what else is going on, the pop-up opens on my first monitor.

This is really pretty, but I don't use anything in this vein except for Spybot Search and Destroy. I wonder what other HNers are think about that: am I asking for trouble? I haven't had any problems in years. I'm a Windows user, and I run SS&D every month or so (I don't run the resident process).

+1 for the nice design of this app! But personally, unless the curves represent actual data points, I think they're somewhat disingenuous. Granted they look prettier than spikes but they give a false representation of the resolution of the data.
