However, given Slack's position as a professional enterprise company, going "full storybook" in palette wouldn't have been entirely appropriate. In these earlier explorations I experimented with some of these more unusual colors, like bright yellow and neon pink. Both fields include younger audiences, so this makes sense. You'll notice that both Mary Blair and Charley Harper's work (as well as work from the animation and publishing industries in general) make excellent use of color: warm, whimsical, and bright.
So a clean, easy to use, stable and well performing chat client that supports XMPP/Jabber with MUC and OTR would be an absolute killer.Here's an example of how we incorporated some of these cues.
SLACK CLIENT MAC
and they have to use Pidgin - which while it works across a lot of IM systems - is very awkward and ugly as anything, so it gives the better protocols a bad name, on Mac there’s Adium which is a pretty decent multi-IM client but has stagnated somewhat. A big problem I see is that a lot of places want to or do run internal XMPP/Jabber because they have engineers working that don’t want to / can’t run ‘enterprise’ rubbish like Skype or those of us that are sick of JavaScript heavy SaaS apps like slack - but then you’ll have a few managers or project managers that still run Windows likely for excel or out of habit etc.
When I get to work tomorrow I’ll be trying this out (knowing it’s in beta) for XMPP / Jabber, if it doesn’t already support OTR encryption - that’d be a killer feature. I’ll add that the last thing I (and I’ve heard my team say the same) want is another app that has to run in a web browser. Hey - I wanted to give you a BIG thank you for creating a native / non-JavaScript client for this, JavaScript (no matter the framework) has been the death of me and my peers with regards to desktop ‘apps’ for the last few years and it’s so damn good to see someone stop, think and give a $#!+ about performance. Looking forward to hearing your feedback :) There's a built in contact form, please use it to submit bugs and suggestions. Automatic updates will be released every day. A lot of essential features are still missing (for example, images and other attachments are not supported yet). No lags, instant scrolling to any point, instant search. I've tested it with 50 000 messages in one chat. You can jump to any message without waiting.
SLACK CLIENT DOWNLOAD
It's native, so you don't need to download a 100 MB browser just to use your IM client.Įul can display thousands of messages in one conversation without the constant page fetching. In fact there are still many things to optimize. The entire application is about 4 MB, and it's never going to be more than 10 MB. Even the Telegram client, which is supposed to be lightweight, is using 1.3 GB of RAM on my desktop right now. For example, everyone knows what a huge resource hog the Skype client is. Why did I create this? To solve two big problems I see with the current IM solutions: there are too many of them, and the clients are ridiculously bloated for what they are built to do. Right now only the first four are supported, and the rest should be done by the end of August. Eul is a very lightweight and fast native desktop client for Skype, Slack, Gmail, VK, FB, Jabber, Telegram, and Signal.
