I love this app. I need it to access my websocket I wrote in javascript in the linux environment. Google is unfortunately ending support for chrome apps, Which means once that happens, I can't use this, and I won't be able to access my websocket anymore.

The App itself is good, but every time I shut down my computer, it's impossible to open the app (and it doesnt work in the background, even if I choose that as an option). To make it work I have to uninstall and install it again, and set the rules once agian, every time I want to use it.
