We've been developing a native work chat app that fixes the shortcomings of existing chat apps for work, called Inline (inline.chat).

It's still pre-alpha but we decided to open-source our client apps as we don't like to build in silence.

Also, we wanted to build more trust with the community maybe it helps to show we don't want to be yet another chat app that builds hype, gets acquired and shuts down.

I realize it's extremely hard to make a native chat app for multiple platforms, but we constantly hit web app limits building our previous web-based chat app. We'll be making native apps for Android (Kotlin), Web and Windows (Swift) after the macOS/iOS apps hit a baseline of features.
