Love this. Brilliant. And what I also love? The whole historical explanation behind the name.
Great idea! What is the main difference than using with new Chrome windows with 4 tabs? Except of centralized notification system.
Maker
thanks a lot! For me it was always a pain to not be able to use cmd+tab to quickly focus my chat windows. Having one window that is instantly identifiable (with the icon) while going through tabs or clicking the dock icon does the trick for me. I usually have 50+ tabs in multiple browser windows and I accidentally close the windows/tabs way too often.
Ah great stuff! Now I can control my servers from an app and with Telegram :D One question though, how was this programmed? Electron? Swift? Some other framework? Thanks again, weisswurst FTW!
Maker
haha :D it's made with Electron and Backbone.js 🍻
would be even more useful as a mobile app. any plan?
Maker
Would love to but not at the moment. Can't guarantee a good user experience on mobile with the current approach.
i see you re using web versions of those chats. i guess that s why...
Maker
This product is awesome! I would also like to be able zoom out in individual tabs though, for instance i prefer my slack to be zoomed out a bit.
Any chance of iChat integration? Complete autonomy of all chat applications from one place.
Maker
unfortunately not at the moment.
Sure this is on the radar and really challenging, but this would be AMAZING. Great job on this product. I love it so far.
Malzner, are you working on a wechat integration ? is that possible to re-organise the display order of the different clients ?
Maker
I'll evaluate wechat within the next couple of weeks. Re-arranging services will come with one of the next updates.
I already subscribed to newsletter. Want to say that cmd+q is really important for new updates and skype calls if possible.
Awesome application with a sleek design! Is there any way to re-order services aside from deleting and re-addng? Also little numbers on the top bar might be useful for using the keyboard shortcuts (e.g. like in the Slack when you have multiple teams)
Maker
re-arranging is coming with one of the next updates
Maker
just sit back and relax and let the auto update to it's job :) Btw.. there is one coming today. πŸŽ‰
Within hours of installing, Franz shows this error and hangs. I couldn't find a link to support on the site.
any clue what this is and how do I fix it?
Maker
Unfortunately there is a bug that may damage the settings of Franz. What you can do is to go to your finder press Cmd+Shift+G and go to "~/Library/Application Support/Franz/settings" and delete the "settings.json" I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
That worked. But it deleted all the apps I connected. Blank slate now.
The same error is back. It's a hassle to add all the accounts again. Do you have a fix/patch/update yet?
Maker
please update to the newest version on the website
Looks good at surface-level. But Why it would require screen record access? It uses a lot of CPU cycles
