Have they said what are their long-term plans for the desktop app, now that Google has started deprecating Chrome apps?

- mi100hael 10y agoFingers crossed they go with a saner native option like QT rather than a slow, crappy, wrapped web app.
- fredsir 10y agoOr platform specific versions using native tooling, sharing only what can be shared under the hood, and ending up with great apps? Yeah, what am I thinking? I know that will probably will never happen, but it would be awesome if it did...
- Spakman 10y agoI haven't seen anyone from Open Whisper Systems speak out about this. One of the things they like best about the current/deprecated Chrome app is the distribution and update model. I'm not sure how much that will affect their decisions about what direction to take.
