Hi everyone, Author here would love to answer any queries.

I really like the app, it's snappy and works great with a small footprint, at least on Windows.

I confess I was also intrigued by the use of Sciter as a platform, so I guess a question could be if you would recommend that for crossplatform apps, or if you came across things that "surprised" you along the way?

Well few of the surprises in sciter SDK were solved by the author of Sciter Andrew,

Sciter development is mostly development-on-demand, so any bugs or feature gets resolved on interest. I've not faced any major issue with it.

Love the app. However on Debian 11 host with xfce desktop the deb package binary manages to crash XOrg when one resizes the window! Just FYI, I might dig into how it accomplishes such a feat as your app is absolutely amazing idea, ver helpful.

I'll have a look into it.

I put it inside an xpra session for now. It’s a really useful app. Thank you.

The X server crash looks like it’s something related to vulcan. My debian 11 machine is a bit odd as it has 2 gpus, one nvidia one amd and I’m using only free video drivers. If I find time to debug it and get an Xorg stack trace I’ll get it to you.
