Can't wait for Mozilla to back a stable, native desktop client into a daily driver state so we can finally ditch Mattermost at work.

Seriously, I feel like it’s such an indictment on native app tool development that we have a bazillion new electron apps written by ppl all the time for weekend projects yet almost no one spitting out native apps to interface with services.

It’s clearly in demand (if a bit of a niche kind of demand)

There are a bunch of very promising native desktop Matrix clients in progress:

https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko as a Qt telegram-like

https://github.com/quotient-im/Quaternion as a Qt xchat-like

https://github.com/manuroe/messagerie for instance is a SwiftUI client proof-of-concept that should work on macOS as well as iOS

None are as polished as Riot functionalitywise, but we will get there eventually - even more so if people contribute.
