What is this?
ProxyNodeHub is a Windows desktop tool that scans GitHub for active free proxy node repositories, scores their activity, deduplicates the nodes it finds, and outputs a ready-to-use subscription link with one click.

A GitHub token is optional but recommended, since it raises the search API limit from 60 to 5000 requests per hour.

A GitHub token is optional but recommended, since it raises the search API limit from 60 to 5000 requests per hour.Any install pitfalls I should know about?The self-contained build can't be trimmed because WinForms doesn't support PublishTrimmed, so it stays around 65MB; the app is Windows-only (x64) with no macOS or Linux builds.
