• CPU usage for the same workload reduced from around 16% to around 4%.
• Startup is now almost instant compared to about one second before.
• Chipmunk is now shipped as a single native application binary.
• No more Electron sandboxing or runtime issues.
• The app is much more responsive, with several long-standing UI issues fixed.
• Added a command palette for faster keyboard-driven workflows.
• Improved chart visuals.
• Added installers for all supported operating systems.

This rewrite also gives us a stronger base for future development, helping us deliver requested features and bug fixes faster in upcoming releases.
