[ANN] Network Tracer

[Andre Alves Garzia]

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the kind words my friend! I hope we all do lots of sales. :-)

Be aware that this is not a product that is only for mobile. I've shown 
it in the context of mobile development (because it is where I think it 
is easier to perceive the value of the tool) but it also works for 
Desktop usage. For example, imagine you're building a cross-platform app 
and you normally do your development on a Mac but you need to debug 
something on Windows. You can launch a standalone on a windows machine 
and receive the messages on your mac.

It is just an easy way for sending data from stacks on other machines 
back to wherever you're running your IDE.

It is not really visible on that video but behind me are both a Surface 
running Windows 10 and a Macbook Air running macOS. I was debugging apps 
between them prior to recording the video by using this stack.

This might not be a use case that you need, but if at any time in the 
future, you see yourself doing one of these cases:

* Doing mobile apps.
* Doing desktop apps that work cross-platform.
* Doing complex network based solutions (such as ERP, or something that 
needs to run on an intranet).

This might help you.

Cheers
andre
