Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

Issue

I just downloaded the app and installed, and when I run, after a few seconds it just freezes. I'm behind a corporate proxy using authentication and this often causes problems with Node.js applications that require internet access (but IMHO, I should be able to use Hyper in "disconnected mode").

Research direction
Investigate the startup sequence in Hyper's main process and renderer to identify where network requests are made that could hang behind an authenticated proxy. Look at the handling of proxy settings from .hyper.js and any HTTP requests during initialization. Consider adding a configuration option to enable offline mode or setting a timeout for network requests. Examine existing comments in the issue for any hints from maintainers or contributors.
