Major new update of Franz: now comes with clients for Windows and Linux (used to be Mac only) as well as support for 6 new messaging platforms (WeChat, Chatwork, Steam, Gitter, Discord, GroupMe). 😍

@bentossell @__tosh had the same problem...actually I've even started downloading it.

@bentossell, @ricricucit, @__tosh we have now updated our website to reflect our new versioning system. If you are running on 0.9.10 you are already running 2.0 – with the next update this versioning change will be visible within Franz as well. Sorry for confusing you.

@__tosh This is killer. Easy access without flipping between tabs or stand alone apps is a huge convenience. Look forward to customizing notification sounds...

@__tosh How is the data stored for all these API channels?

@__tosh can you please add vk.com (russian social networking) - e.g. iframe

As usual, if you have any questions about Franz feel free to ask me anything. If you have support requests, please head over http://franz.zendesk.com and open a new ticket - this way it's much easier for us to track all the requests. happy messaging Stefan

@smalzner Any future support for VPNs?
Stefan Malzner

@ausonio not directly VPN but we will soon add support for proxy settings.

@smalzner Any plans to make this a W10 universal app? Much prefer apps over full desktop software most of the time...
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@robtregaskes we have plans to provide Franz for the Windows Store and Mac AppStore – but there are still some limitations with W10 universal apps we need to look into before we can make a proper estimate.
Robert Tregaskes
@smalzner Great! Looking forward to watching progress.... :-)

Been using Franz for a few weeks now - 2 Slack teams, Skype, Messenger and Wechat. Downloading the update now.

Oh wait. Confused. Franz 2.0 is the Windows Linux beta, Franz Mac is still 0.9.10 beta?
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@frassmith 0.9.10 on our website is 2.0 – we are currently changing our versioning to show progress in a less confusing way @__tosh was just a bit faster than we were :)
originell
@frassmith That also got me startled a bit. My guess is that if you see WeChat (Gitter etc.) support you are actually having 2.0, even though it says 0.9.1. Not sure though. cc @smalzner
Enrico Icardi
@smalzner @frassmith @__tosh same here...very confusing. not cool.
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@originell @frassmith we changed our versioning, internal it's still 0.9.10 = 2.0 our website is now updated to reflect the changes. Sorry for confusing anyone.
Abe Storey

Paul Hart
@abe_storey agreed! native apple messages on osx inclusion would have me shutting messages and running everything through franz!

@roamlocally @abe_storey we are working on a couple experiments regarding iMessage. I can't promise anything yet but we'll see :)

@smalzner awesome! My friends and colleagues will just have to deal with my numerous typos until you are done 😜
Stefan Malzner

@arran_mccabe don't see it as a typo, see it as a creative expression of yourself! 🌈
Connor Hicks
I've used this every day since the original launch! Great update, keep it up 👌🏼
Alex King
@cohix me too!
Gabriel Reynard
*Clap clap clap*. That's a great tool, I'm downloading for Windows and will use for sure. Thanks.

@drewshah1234 Mac is already out since March 1st 😎 and we are planning support for the iOS and Android in 2017
Drew Shah
@smalzner thank you

Any plans to support AIM chat in this app? I still have a few people that I talk with regularly on AIM so hard for me to ditch something like Adium .
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@deronsizemore @ericnakagawa sooner or later we will support most of the messenger platforms out there, including AIM ;)
Deron Sizemore
@smalzner @ericnakagawa Awesome! Thanks!
