Comment on Show HN: Wiretap is a tool for integrating Apps w/REST APIs - need beta testers

I upvoted at first because Kris is a friend and it looked good. Then I watched the video and:

1) This looks great

2) It's a fantastic demo video

Is the automatic local connection app thing going to work if I'm behind a NAT? Any plans to make the desktop app work on Windows or Linux?

Thanks! Yep, the local connection will tunnel through an HTTPS connect, so it should work from behind aggressive NATs.

The goal of the desktop app is cross-platform. In its current form it's a cobbled together OSX app that shells out, but moving it to Java (or an easier-to-port language) soon.

If you're in to Java, perhaps take a look at griffon - essentially groovy/swing/mvc combo. http://griffon.codehaus.org/
