Process Manager UI for Electron Apps
This package provides a process manager UI for Electron applications.
It opens a window displaying a table of every processes run by the Electron application with information (type, URL for webContents, memory..).
:warning: For @electron>=3.0.0, <7.x, use version 0.7.1 of this package.
For versions >=7.x, use latest.
It can be useful to debug performance of an app with several webview.
It's inspired from Chrome's task manager.
Features
- Memory reporting
- Link memory data to web-contents (for electron >=1.7.1)

⚠️ Unfortunately, memory info are no longer available in Electron>=4 (see electron/electron#16179)
