Parmanode is designed for non-technical users giving them the ability to download and verify Bitcoin related software, and sync using an external or internal drive, and also have configuration options presented to them with automation. No manual configuration file editing will be required - Parmanode takes care of all that in the background.
Non-technical-user-friendly, sounds interesting. This approach simplifies the process of setting up and maintaining a Bitcoin node on a Mac, making it more accessible to a wider audience.
And Linux!
I'm not sure why people are forgetting that it also works on Linux.
One platform it will not work on though is Windows, but I never rated Windows highly to be honest. The development platform is just crap, there's no way to install and run Unix programs without using something like Cygwin, MinGW, and nowadays Windows Subsystem for Linux. Though because of the graphical nature of some of these programs, I doubt whether this will work on any of these layers.
