Franz launches a completely new instance for every workspace/network that you add and these are based on their regular webviews. Unlike Slack, it will not unload less frequently used workspaces from your RAM and with 8 Slack workspaces, Telegram, Whatsapp and IRCCloud it managed to permanently allocate more than 3 GiB RAM. That may be fine on my beefy desktop PC but not on my MacBook Air with only 8 GiB RAM. In my case, just leaving the official apps of these chat networks in the background seems to be less resource intensive than running Franz. I really hope that https://eul.im/ https://eul.im/ will up to my expectations.

I'm still really leery of eul.im, I can't seem to find anybody reviewing/actually using it and it throws up a couple detections on VirusTotal. Would be interested to hear of your experience.

  Hi, developer here. I just tested it on VirusTotal and didn't get any detections. Could you please post a screenshot with what you get here or contact me via support@eul.im? Thanks

    The latest version fails to start for me (just crash upon startup)

Have you tried eul? How does it behaves compared to the official clients or other non-native alternatives?
- hs86 9y ago
  It was still very unstable for me and somehow their change-log always indicates that the upcoming version n+1 will be SO MUCH BETTER than the current version n. Therefore I am always skipping the current version and wait for the next one.

    Yeah I've been really slow and unreliable with the releases so far with weekly delays. Developing a truly native client for all 3 platforms is pretty hard. The final beta with Linux support is going to be released in a couple of hours, and the development process should be quicker now that I'm finally done with UI and graphics.

      Looks cool, I especially like the proposed Signal support... how can I download the Linux Beta? Not finding a link, and since it's not open source I assume the code isn't on github. Good luck, looks interesting
