Please do consider paid version and/or donations to sustain the development. I'd pay for a fast native app for Slack and others but I also know these services would change over time and it would be nice to get updates.

How much would you personally be willing to pay?

#73This looks great - the Slack app is a massive PITA because it's so slow. The only thing stopping me junking Franz for this is that Franz has whatsapp (which you probably can't integrate into Eul anyway because it has to be the web client).
WhatsApp is very tricky, but not impossible.

#74Is it possible to fix the scale factor for Linux desktop hidpi display? It doesn't seem to pickup system global setting for the display. Does it use GTK on Linux or what is it using otherwise?
Yes, this will be fixed asap. I was testing the Linux build in a VM that doesn't support hidpi, sorry about that.

#77This is pretty stupid. Dev machines come with at least 8 gb or ram, why would anyone run a closed source software to save a hundred megabytes and risk compromising their machine. Meanwhile the account is 1 day old and the exe is being flagged by antiviruses.
What a ridiculous comment.. I can assure you that the majority of the developers do not own a 8GB dev machine, and surely you can see why this application would be valuable for the average user chatting with their friends on Skype/whatever on their 2GB, i3 laptop (assuming they're lucky enough to be able to afford such a device). I have browsed Show HN every day for over a year now, and I can't think of any project t…

His credibility is already at 0, because he's an anon.

Not my hope, I don't even install official slack client because I don't trust it to be built by competent people (it's web app for me tyvm), my hope is that everybody who installed this software formats their hard drives for the sake of other people if not for themselves. How do you think things like this http://www.nbcnews.com/id/15316394/ happen?
EDIT:
> I can assure you
How? In a cursory attempt I couldn't find any meaningful statistics, but that wasn't my impression when reading topics like this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13038114.
Also, 5 hour old account. Weird. Don't install warez people.

#78Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sir, what's the obstacle for supporting El Capitan, I think it is not too old?
It doesn't run on El Capitan? What kind of an error do you get? Can you send more details to support@eul.im? Thanks
I sent you a report. Thanks for addressing. Looking forward to using your app!

#80Wow, awesome. Will you add IRC?
I was considering adding IRC but I thought that almost no one uses it these days (sadly!) Ideally yes, I'd like to implement it. It's a stable protocol that's not going to change, so there's not much cost in maintaining it. What are you using IRC for?
There already exist tons of high quality irc clients, so there's no reason for irc support to be high priority. I see eul's reason to exist to be more to alleviate the weight of having several low quality messaging apps open at the same time.
