Hi everybody,
I have seen there is a desktop client in developement.
Will this client be plattform independent?
Thank you for reply.
Bye Webratte
It is planned to release the desktop-client for Linux, Mac and Windows
Technically, the desktop-client will be portable. It will be written in JavaScript and will be based on Electron using the deltachat-core-library via c-bindings to node.js. The bindings are already done, see GitHub - deltachat/deltachat-node: Email-based instant messaging for Node.js. and the work on user-interface has just started. (is this all correct? cc @ralphtheninja)
Lots or work to do, help is very welcome

@compl4xx i also find minimal title lengths annoying. imho this leads to titles as “Desktop client --h (why need the tile 15 charters? OK, here we go 
)” - and does not force people to think about more words to describe their topic.
i would suggest to use a much shorter minimal length, eg. 4 character.
EDIT: changed the title from “Desktop client --h (why need the tile 15 charters? OK, here we go )” to “Will the Deskop client be platform independent?”
Riot does this electron thing too, and it seems to work well but please make sure that you disable electron’s analytics for good.
@gargantuan thank you for the hint. searching about “electron analytics” a bit, it seems as if they have to be explicitly enabled - or are you aware of things that have to be disabled?
@r10s Yes, this is correct.
What about DELTA.CHAT and NEXTCLOUD?
I would love it, if there were an NC APP or an integration with existing NC Apps, as TALK.
