Reliable SSH tunnels from one machine to another.

Hey,

I'm Mathew (just one 't', please) 😁. I'm a Technical Manager at Just Eat Takeaway.

My professional journey started with software engineering, honing my skills in JavaScript, PHP, and GoLang 💻. I also dove into PCB design and embedded programming, using low-level C to create LED bike displays (I have videos!).

Beyond just coding, I'm involved in all aspects of software engineering 🎭. From internal conferences to spreading key updates, to the occasional meet-up speaking gig 🎤.

Don't be fooled by my sparse project portfolio; I'm an active open-source community contributor. I've financially supported the baklava no-code editor 💵 and tweaked the code for libreddit, a privacy-focused Reddit front-end.

In our fast-paced tech world, I keep an eye on emerging trends, particularly LLMs 🌠. Here's to a future as thrilling as a JavaScript update! 🥂

Lastly, feel free to reach out to me for workshops, or speaker opportunities. I'm always open to collaboration and sharing knowledge. Let's connect and create something impactful together!

tunnel-boring-masshine's Issues

Tray functionality doesn't work when the main window is closed.

Here's the bug happening on macOS:

Update the Mac application name

Currently, it looks like this:

It should look like this:

We should also update this icon:

Keep tunnel alive

When the tunnel is the "Connected" state, the tunnel should be kept alive if an error/disconnect happens. This would ensure people can open the app and trust their tunnels will be kept open.

Automatic connect on startup

The ability to define what tunnels are started on launch would save a few precious clicks.

Set keepaliveInterval to keep the connection alive.

To be passed as the connect() config. See the README: https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2

Ability to test the connection before saving the configuration

Create a system tray to manage connection states

Restrict the electron build to the master branch and release tags

Need to follow the guide here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#onpushpull_requestbranchestags

We're going through a lot of free minutes, meaning the builds are failing.
