We recently switched to it for work. The electron app is okay - but a real mac app would be nice..

  Is there a chat app that is native anymore? I know Hipchat was back in the day, but the 2 I've used in recent years (Slack and Cliq) are both Electron as well. (As is Mattermost, but I haven't used it)

    As someone who always has a terminal open, I consider Zulip Terminal[1] a native app. 1: https://github.com/zulip/zulip-terminal https://github.com/zulip/zulip-terminal

  Why would you need an app on the desktop? Honest question. I have used zulip in the browser for 3 years and I don't know what I would be missing.

    Good question indeed, I'd say it comes down to: - apps fit my workflow better - even if its just a different icon in the dock. - having an actual non web tech based app would be great because web apps always behave slightly different than real native apps.. (It's really hundreds of small things that are just weird - always feels like you use a app in a portal..)
