I just downloaded it to try it out but it connects to like 4 domains on startup and after blocking internet access I cannot continue by clicking "Continue without account". I downloaded 240MiB, it shouldn't need to download any more stuff to run. arctype.com, intercom.io, sentry.io and s3.amazonaws.com. These all happen while the window isn't even loaded on first start. I get that I'm not entitled to anything, but jesus, I dislike the electron age. Well, not that other apps are much better, I'm just sad.

After you create an account or click "continue without an account", all errors/crash reporting can be turned off from the Settings page. In the future, we'll add an option to turn this off in the initial page.

  why isn't it turned off by default?

    Because then no one would turn it on? I get it though… I don’t really want my database access tracked either. Maybe it would be better to include this as part of the account creation process. At least then you can tell the user what you're collecting and why.

      hard disagree they should store crash reports locally and next time i open the app ask me whether i want to send them or not what they decided to do instead is spying

        Build a competing product and show them how to do it?

Do you run your whole dev environment with the internet off?

  You're completely missing the point - it's the principal of the matter in question here. The app _should_ work offline, even if that's not how your actual environment is configured.

Calling home, AWS and Sentry (Error tracking) is very reasonable. Intercom is the only "eh" one and it's not even that bad.
