Congratulations, we really need leaner IMs and from what I see it looks great!

If it supports some important features like file uploading, pinning and seeing pinned threads, etc. to reach Slack feature parity I'll surely take a shot.

Are you using QT for cross-platform compatibility or some other toolkit?



If I was using Qt, it'd be at least 25 MB, not 100 KB :)

It's all native.

Pinning is supported, just temporarily disabled. File support is not great right now. Only inline images are supported.

But the goal is of course to have full feature parity and more, so follow the development :)

A lot is going to be done by the end of March.

Not on Ubuntu/Arch/etc... :)


Well, Qt would still take up that space. It's just that on those platforms it's likely installed elsewhere and used by enough other things that it's closer to the "general userland size" category than it is to any one "specific application size".


Of course, that's what I meant, unlike at least as many copies of Chromium as electron apps.
