- garaetjjte 10y agoI think Telegram uses Qt.
- KuiN 10y agoYep, Telegram on Desktop uses Qt. It's even open-source and on GitHub: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop
- rvanmil 10y agoThere's a separate macOS version as well: https://github.com/overtake/telegram https://github.com/overtake/telegram
- lloeki 10y agoThey used to have two apps, one using Cocoa (named "Telegram") and the other Electron (named "Telegram Desktop"). They transitioned the Electron app to QT and kept the "Telegram Desktop" name.
- Mithaldu 10y agoElectron is a browser though, just one with a lot of the chrome cut out.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoChrome without the chrome.
