Ask HN: Would you launch a developer tool with only macOS support?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm building Headwig, a devtool that lets me run multiple agents on my app, isolate their changes across services, and test and iterate on each independently.

I've built the macOS version and have been using it on my own webapp. It works particularly well for applications with multiple services.

Now I'm thinking of launching it, but I'm debating one thing.

Would you guys launch a developer tool with just macOS support, or wait until Windows and Linux are ready too?

In the developer surveys I conducted, quite a few enterprise developers were using Windows.

As a Linux user, launch with macOS, start getting feedback, and see what you do about Windows later on. You'll likely have an even better Windows & Linux launch if you already gathered macOS feedback that gets transferred.
