 People wonder why I'm such a #Nostrudel fangirl, but it's often the only desktop or web app that works and doesn't stall out my machine, and he always responds to bug reports.

He clearly sees the users as his customers.

 #nostrudel fan here also... it's my daily driver... oh, there's some bugs, like, currently i have to sometimes refresh the page to get it to update the notifications, but it has all the things in the right place mostly working

 I constantly try out other apps and I eventually have to give up and go crawling back to @hzrd149 Using it on my laptop and my phone, now.

I don't understand why everyone doesn't just do whatever he's doing, since it obviously works. You could just fork it, take 2/3 of the functionality out and give it a snazzy new stylesheet and it'd be like TA DAA! 🥳  You could do 15 variations. 😅

 haha!

yes, we are going to riff from that codebase in a planned future client

hopefully we get some good FE devs on the case and we can upstream fixes, i think there is probably a little funny stuff in the background processes, mostly small bugs i'd guess, deadlocks and such

we have some really nice figma wireframes all together and ready to slap over top of it, just waiting for the boss to find someone who wants to see a slick, professional client, and we have in mind of course to be competing on the ground of slack, particularly

 the key thing that made slack so big for dev teams was the plugins... we can inject steroids into that with an open protocol

I'm not really sure what I'm doing... But it just feels right :)
