You either make it look beautiful in one place, or make it look like ass in three places. Or, option C: You use Electron, like Slack.

- baldfat 11y agoQt looks very nice to me. But then again my preferred GUI is ncurse in my terminal (urxvt) with tmux in a tiled window manager (i3).
- sanderjd 11y agoI keep waiting for Slack to realize that they're a big enough company now that they can afford to make native apps that look and work better than the Electron version. I'd much rather have a real native app than a webpage inside some minimal window chrome. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
- fokinsean 11y agoWhat would be some of the improvements making slack native? I don't have many problems with the current one other than it is quite large.
- shinymark 11y agoThe Slack client looks nice but it's incredible how inefficient it is (presumably due to being a web app in an Electron wrapper). I used it recently on a low powered laptop and keystrokes sometimes took 100-300 msec to appear on screen. No other text entry application on that computer had that problem.
- cturner 11y agoAnother option - you can do everything in a terminal. Not everyone finds minimalism beautiful, but - if you do.
- st3v3r 11y agoIt's still going to be a bit of a problem, as you have the Unix terminals (bash, zsh, fish, among others), and then you have the Windows terminals (cmd.exe and PowerShell).
