So far we haven't had people report issues or complain about the app or its performance. We also test the app on laptops ranging from really low range and old laptops to the latest MacBook or Windows laptops and so far we haven't encountered any issues ourselves. Electron has been really useful since it allows us to build apps for different operating systems, hence we can support more users who are looking for a solution like ours.

While we do use the 'posenet' library, this is around 25% of what goes on in the app during a 'posture session' - we need to actually label the multitude of positions that users can be in and we also need to calculate the degree to which users are in those positions. Moreover, we also offer walk breaks, exercise breaks and (ergonomic) educational videos that are really popular among our users.

Thank you for your comment!

But you don't support Linux?
