Just want to clarify that this client is *unofficial*. I'm building it in my spare time as an outside developer. 👮
Still early and very alpha, but already useful. The biggest missing features are account creation, activity, adding friends, magic words, and a design of any sort. :)
A few nice things:
• automatically refreshes so it's nice to leave open
• use L/R arrow keys to navigate between friends
• drag and drop an image or GIF to upload it. Post a link to one to do the same.
Otherwise, it's improving every day (usually a few times throughout the day, and it'll even tell you when it does!), so check back whenever.

@rrhoover I wanted to make sure I was building something on our API using the same rules and conventions third party developers would use. That's the only way we can do right by them. A lot of people (myself included) still use a computer every day, so web seemed like a fun place to start. I plan to keep improving it bit by bit, day by day. :)
That said, we have a pretty solid roadmap and Android is on the way, so web isn't a focus for us right now. Of course, if it's something people are interested in we will absolutely take another look.

@rrhoover@dhof I agree with Dom. A lot of us still use the computer, especially if you work on tech/web/marketing. I think the web client is just about right.

@dhof My .02 worth, but while Android is important (just see how many of my posts ask that question!) I think Web is as important. At least until ChromeOS has better Android options, for those poor BB users (some at one of my clients), and there is a true mobile Ubuntu, and... IOW - to catch all the folks who are not yet fully on mobile, or for various reasons can't use mobile at some point. I understand you can't be everything to everyone. But that usually is the argument for doing a Web version - go web to go wide, and then go deep with mobile.
This is great, @dhof! Just added to my Peach Apps collection.
You mention that one of your goals with Peach is to be "great for developers." There have already been a few third party Peach clients built for Android, Mac and the web. What other types of apps would you encourage developers to build on top of Peach?
I downloaded it a few weeks ago, my friends did, too but we only tried it that day. I believe we didn't find the actual value. Did we missed something?

What if you don't have an account and don't have an iOS device?
I don't see a signup page only sign in, and I've been wanting to try this.
