Why is this app sending hundreds of requests to accounts.google and s3.amazonaws.com? #176

Step 1: Install a Linux firewall such as OpenSnitch. Step 2: Launch this app.

Then you find that this app immediately sends about a hundred requests to accounts.google.com and s3.amazonaws.com and www.gstatic.com.

Please explain why this is happening, and can we have a fully offline version???

Um, this doesn't sound right at all. The only one that makes sense to me is S3 -- of you've selected the option to check for app updates, it needs to pull a manifest.json that we host in an S3 bucket. We also use a web font that should be bundled. I'll investigate further.

Chromium (NW.js) which the app is built on does call accounts.google.com, this should be fixed in a later version of Chromium

@rodgolpe I tried the latest app (yet to be released 5.3.4) no calls to accounts.google.com. Can you verify? I used Lulu on Mac

brew install lulu

Testing the latest app release 5.3.4 shows only 2 remote requests, which can both be disabled from the preferences menu:
