Have been using this for a couple of months now — by far the best desktop Messenger client out there.

I use this every day and it's a great app. Just wondering, have you every concidered something like React Native Desktop, to beat the downfalls of electron?

@adam_kelly It wouldn't make sense for this kind of app, since I need a browser engine and cross-platform support.
Adam Kelly
@sindresorhus Yeah that makes sense

Caprine looks very promising and I love the initial experience. My most favorite part though, it's basically a Messenger.com skin - thus, does not remove features like bot support. Kudos on this beautiful app. The extra features like customization, jumping to conversations are super useful.

I can't find the "File" menu on Windows. I want to block seen/typing.

I downloaded the app and it looks very good, how come you haven't made a proper website for it?

@wp_end I don't enjoy making websites. Someone just did it for me though: https://sindresorhus.com/caprine/ :)
