Major new update of Franz: now comes with clients for Windows and Linux (used to be Mac only) as well as support for 6 new messaging platforms (WeChat, Chatwork, Steam, Gitter, Discord, GroupMe). 😍

@__tosh Changelog doesn't say 2.0 ... http://www.meetfranz.com/changel...

@bentossell, @ricricucit, @__tosh we have now updated our website to reflect our new versioning system. If you are running on 0.9.10 you are already running 2.0 – with the next update this versioning change will be visible within Franz as well. Sorry for confusing you.
Alex Scott
@__tosh This is killer. Easy access without flipping between tabs or stand alone apps is a huge convenience. Look forward to customizing notification sounds...

@__tosh How is the data stored for all these API channels?

As usual, if you have any questions about Franz feel free to ask me anything. If you have support requests, please head over http://franz.zendesk.com and open a new ticket - this way it's much easier for us to track all the requests. happy messaging Stefan

@smalzner Any future support for VPNs?
Stefan Malzner

@ausonio not directly VPN but we will soon add support for proxy settings.

@smalzner Any plans to make this a W10 universal app? Much prefer apps over full desktop software most of the time...
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@robtregaskes we have plans to provide Franz for the Windows Store and Mac AppStore – but there are still some limitations with W10 universal apps we need to look into before we can make a proper estimate.

@smalzner Any chance to support skype video one day ? Again great work I use Franz every single day ;)
Austin Sandmeyer
@imprecision & @smalzner this must be what your resume looks like for Franz 2.0 🙌

@as_austin @smalzner Heh, thanks! 👍

Been using Franz for a few weeks now - 2 Slack teams, Skype, Messenger and Wechat. Downloading the update now.
Fraser Smith
Oh wait. Confused. Franz 2.0 is the Windows Linux beta, Franz Mac is still 0.9.10 beta?
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@frassmith 0.9.10 on our website is 2.0 – we are currently changing our versioning to show progress in a less confusing way @__tosh was just a bit faster than we were :)
originell
@frassmith That also got me startled a bit. My guess is that if you see WeChat (Gitter etc.) support you are actually having 2.0, even though it says 0.9.1. Not sure though. cc @smalzner

@originell @frassmith we changed our versioning, internal it's still 0.9.10 = 2.0 our website is now updated to reflect the changes. Sorry for confusing anyone.
Abe Storey
Add apple imessage please!!!!
Paul Hart
@abe_storey agreed! native apple messages on osx inclusion would have me shutting messages and running everything through franz!
Stefan Malzner

@roamlocally @abe_storey we are working on a couple experiments regarding iMessage. I can't promise anything yet but we'll see :)
Arran McCabe
Once there is spell check support (Mac) this will be perfect!
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@arran_mccabe we are already working on it :)
Arran McCabe
@smalzner awesome! My friends and colleagues will just have to deal with my numerous typos until you are done 😜
Stefan Malzner

@arran_mccabe don't see it as a typo, see it as a creative expression of yourself! 🌈
Connor Hicks
I've used this every day since the original launch! Great update, keep it up 👌🏼
Gabriel Reynard
*Clap clap clap*. That's a great tool, I'm downloading for Windows and will use for sure. Thanks.
Drew Shah
Will Mac and mobile apps be coming?
Stefan Malzner

@drewshah1234 Mac is already out since March 1st 😎 and we are planning support for the iOS and Android in 2017

Any plans to support AIM chat in this app? I still have a few people that I talk with regularly on AIM so hard for me to ditch something like Adium .
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@deronsizemore @ericnakagawa sooner or later we will support most of the messenger platforms out there, including AIM ;)
Jimmy Vergerolle
I had some notifications issues with the previous version, that's why i stop using it. But it's still a great app, so maybe i'll give it another try.
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@jimmyvergerolle are you running Franz on Mac, Windows or Linux? If you are still having problems, please contact me directly and we'll find a way to solve your issues :)
Jimmy Vergerolle
@smalzner I'm on Mac. I reinstall the app today, i'll use it for couple of days and tell you if i still have the issue.

Have been loving Franz. Very excited about this update!
Jules
I've been using Franz for 2 months and it's amazing. Thank you so much!
Justin Mitchell
Only downfall of me using Franz over Slack's app is that http://jmitch.com/serenity no longer works. @smalzner would love to integrate the app with Franz. Sometimes I need to mute those pesky notification sounds!
Stefan Malzner
Maker
@itsthisjustin we will add more customization options soon and muting the notification sound is one of them :)
Shane Jones
Brilliant tool. Any plans to integrate any services like MightyText into this too?
Derek Nuzum
Have been using Franz when required to be on multiple networks. Have been very happy so far!
Christopher Leach
This is awesome
León Hernández
You sir have made very happy a user that appreciate to simplify all their stuff!
Dima Grebennikov
Good idea! Do you planning support other messengers in future updates? Like a Viber or similar
PASCAL TIEMANN
@smalzer you have to charge money for this. This is so awesome. Telegram is a little buggy but what's app and fb messenger rock solid.
Stefan Malzner

@pascaltiemann we will, soon-ish :)
