I wish the next stage of opensource is to opensource the prompt that generated the code, I like the main website style and it's clearly AI generated, I want the prompt!
I used Franz and then went it went freemium I used ferdi for a while. I like using Zen browser and it’s based on Firefox
Never heard of this product, but seems like Beeper, but more expensive if you want to use more than 3 messaging services. Beeper is completely free, but the downside is it was acquired by Automattic (the WordPress company with the CEO who crashed out over WP Engine)
Not necessarily true but buried in their FAQ section https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-much-does-beeper-cost-to-use
Edit: I should say it's not Franz that has the crappier interface, it's the Slack webview, Franz's interface seems pretty nice. However, if something wants to be the biggest app binary on my Mac outside of Xcode and Logic Pro, it needs to offer a lot more than this.

Much better than having to try and remember if my conversation with "Tom" was via sms or signal or something else; he might have a messenger account but not use the app - doesn't matter - I just open beeper and find the last conversation and continue from there.
Ed: I don't use beeper or messaging on desktop - so Franz is DOA for me.
Which is a shame - it looks like a solid product.
I thought it was the Lisp Franz and wondered what I missed as that's much, much older. Anyway; I gave this a try (on Mac) and was not impressed; coming in at 1.44GB, immediately very slow and my battery almost immediately flagging it as the app using the most energy, I went through the setup; after the setup was done I was left with a blue empty screen and nothing to click on. So I killed it and started again; that o…
I have email locally dating to the dawn of the internet; it's one form of external mind-mapping for me. I'm completely baffled that a decent mail program can't handle the mail for a small town, rather than struggling with one person's life history. This is a question of algorithm choices; performance has to be the top priority. If search is instant, who needs "features"?
