Quick question, can you arrange that when hitting the red square, the program is not really closing but just minimized (like a lot of other software on mac) . I don't like to have a lot of open windows in my dock (that's why I never use the orange button :-) ) .

@xi0n it's already on my todolist :D

Feature request: an OOO auto-responder for all the things 🙏

@rrhoover haha, we can talk about that 🦄

Great App, could you please modify it so, that the app does not completely quit on click the red X close button? That's kinda OS X default to not quit completely ;)
Gerbz
@benmarten Command + H instead
Ben
@gerbz lol, i know this, but its still annoying that it fully closes, since OS X default is not closing completely (which is CMD+Q) ;)

@benmarten fixed in the latest version :)

Awesome product, will it support spell check on Mac in the future?
Marie Tatibouet
Oh, I'm quite jealous now of those who user macs at work! Any plans for an iOS or Android development?

@marietatibouet The way how Franz is built would not work on mobile without destroying the whole usability. But we never now what the future might bring ;)

@smalzner @marietatibouet and Linux development? does electron help you with that or not? Thanks for an amazing product!

@eevmanu @marietatibouet electron makes allows Franz to rudimentarily run on linux. Unfortunately there are way too many UX issues with the systems integration to even name an approximate release date for that / if it's possible at all.

Great App! Been looking for something like this for a while. However, Notifications (in FB Messenger) appear not to be working? They're enabled, but I never get notified when they're received

@arturogoga i had this issue as well. What worked for me is in the messenger view clicking on the settings icon -> settings -> notifications -> turn on desktop notifications. Which was disabled by default.
Arturo Goga
@smalzner that was it! thanks!

@arturogoga you are welcome :)
Konrad Holubek
@smalzner @arturogoga was struggling with it for a while. Thanks !!

Really nice idea and very much needed. I feel we go through this cycle of having 209384 chat apps every now and then. I have one question @smalzner : what about privacy and security?

@tukeke Franz does not work with the services APIs, instead you are using the direct web interface of a service like web.whatsapp.com or web.skype.com. Franz does not store anything besides the typical browser cache like chrome or safari is doing it.

Great product! Plans to support Skype for Business (Lync)?
ra_ma
@nitinsbajaj Lync support would be awesome - The SIP protocol plugin that other messengers had was a bit problematic when I last tried them - https://sourceforge.net/projects...

Great vision Thomas. We're going to install on our Ottspott.co team.

Site down?

@jeanpaulh unfortunately the server is having a hard time right now but i'm moving the site to another server. In the meantime, you can download Franz here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/daepg6... edit: everything is up & running again.
