Electron :(

I mean, even though that's probably the way it's going to take if one day they decide to make a desktop client, right now it's just javascript and css. Syphon looks pretty decent and their desktop version won't be built using Electron, so I'm waiting for that and switch from Element desktop to Syphon desktop.

Why not FluffyChat desktop?

Doesn't look like electron. Where did you get that?

Huh, this client seemingly came out of NOWHERE. It's incredibly beautiful, too, and the Spaces support is a plus as well. I'll have to keep an eye on this one.

Edit:

Ahh, Electron. Well it's definitely not for the minimalist FLOSS crowd, but if it can serve as a client that can help transition people from Discord easier then I'll welcome it with open arms.

It doesn't support Spaces yet:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago

Ahh, I saw "Spaces" in the screenshot and wrongly assumed it supported them. Silly me.

Doesn’t look like electron to me.

Minimalist? I doubt it to be exact. At least, it is not at code level.

Edited:

It doesn't even work with UXP-based browsers like Pale Moon and they are in first steps. Element worked until they broke something some day.

Looks real sexy

Beautiful UI and UX, but I usually avoid using Electron apps :( I'm pretty sure that some people may find useful and more user friendly than Element or Fractal, so I'm glad to see this!
