I love Fastmail, but this feels like a waste of time. I'd rather just leave Fastmail open in a browser tab, rather than install Flatpak just to load an Electron app with the web client in it.
- JodieBenitez 1y agoOffline mode can be useful where network connectivity is not great.
- Kudos 1y agoOffline mode works in a browser tab too.
- JodieBenitez 1y agoyes, but not at app.fastmail.com unfortunately.
- calcifer 1y agoI've had it for a while actually. Maybe they are rolling it out slowly?
- JodieBenitez 1y agoOh... my bad ! Turns out it was disabled by default... so yes, one less reason to use the standalone app.
- Kudos 1y agoHave you tried it lately? The webworker tech they added for the browser is almost definitely why this app exists at all.
- JodieBenitez 1y agomy bad, had to enable it in settings...
- lloeki 1y ago> I'd rather just leave Fastmail open in a browser tab Or if you gotta have a spearate app+: Safari > File > Add to Dock + which I do because it's so much easier to go to my mail instead of wading through browser windows and tabs. I've been using that way for a while now
- loehnsberg 1y agoIndeed what I do as well; gives me apps for Youtube, Netflix, etc. The only downside is that you have to login if you do not use the "app" for a while. Would Electron get around this?
- aembleton 1y ago> I'd rather just leave Fastmail open in a browser tab You'll still be able to do that.
