yes, its miniscule. one ping (and that too once in a day) that indicates that an anonymous user opened the app. No other usage details, micro interactions or anything else is tracked. Sure - in the future we will provide option to turn this off too.

> Could you quantify? I never saw a lightweight Electron app.

relatively, compared to the other electron monsters out there. You are definitely not going to native performance and fluidity, but it's a tradeoff that I made to support multiple os.

Also, currently Bruno is just me developing it for the last 2 years. Recently a community has formed around (nice to see) and we have a flurry of new contributors.

Users decide what is miniscule. Everyone collecting data without consent thinks they are justified. And fully offline means fully offline. It is hard to trust false claims and defensiveness.

I think Electron is fine for an application like this. Not much to gain for making a completely bespoke platform UI for a dev tool, and a lot of pain.

I tracked this through the code.

Telemetry is set up here: https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/blob/main/packages/bruno-a...

It uses next.js config which is here: https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/blob/main/packages/bruno-a...

I don't know when this is evaluated, but it seems like if you set ENV=dev it should disable it.

Until the developer changes it with no notice.

Another benefit of electron is that it allows the community to quickly contribute and improve the project via PRs

In the last 5 days, Bruno received 25 PRs. I've already merged 21 of them and shipped multiple releases.

I didn't ask why you used Electron. I asked you to quantify lightweight. And every release was a chance to respect consent.
