Sounds like your average web development project though; frequent releases are a good thing, although I suppose for each individual they'll want to slow it down a bit.

I just wish there were more native applications instead of all the web desktop stuff. But, visual design options and developer availability is a huge factor there. Native iOS designs come the closest to what I'd like to see on the desktop.

I agree about the updates, but I'm in a shit ton of servers and performance is fine for me. Can you talk to the issues you've had a bit?

An example of the worst-of-both-worlds 'always needs updates' like a website but 'takes over your screen (while strobing your taskbar) so you can't multitask' like a desktop program.

The web client is fairly well behaved and does away with the need for constantly installing updates: https://discord.com/app
