@akashnimare You offer me to start a completely new project on html/js instead of this one? What for? How is it related in any way to this app?

[john-preston]

@akashnimare You're always welcome to start your own desktop telegram app using electron. You can even take open source web version web.telegram.org to get started and get involved in it.

@john-preston I have built a basic prototype of telegram desktop app and it works great. I'll make it open source once it's stable. It was just a suggestion to start an experimental project using electron. That's it.

@akashnimare I'm looking forward to it 👍

[akashnimare]

@auchri I'll let you know.

@akashnimare Qt is much more powerful than Electron.
Btw, Why won't you just use official Web client?

@akashnimare Any update on telegram built with electron? Would be cool to try it out :)

[stek29]

I still can't understand what's the problem with official web client wrapped in electron.
Or maybe even treact

@stek29 Thanks for sharing treact.

Official web app & tdesktop do not have secret chat feature. So in order to have it, gotta use Telegram for mac os while dropping tweaks like themes etc.
