Proxyman – native HTTP/HTTPS requests observation and manipulation app

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.

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.

Yes, we're the same team. Sorry for that : /

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.

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