Had the same thought. We're in the middle of choosing between Mattermost and Rocket.Chat for a new project, having a native macOS client would no doubt sway the vote towards RC!
It would be actually an interesting task to work on 👍 I might try it some day.
@reetp great for PM's, shame for users.
Don't shoot the messenger....
PMs? Lost me.
Oh, this is sad :( thanks for the heads up @reetp
Pity! Would love native apps everywhere, mobile and desktop. But I can of course see the advantages of cross-platform development. Could e.g. Qt have been a solution? Ok ok, I digress.
There are advantages, and disadvantages both ways.
I think the point with cross platform, and React Native, is that it is all in the same language, both server and client.
I am sure the Rocket devs would be delighted if someone chose to pick up the native code and continue to develop it.
@reetp PM = Product Manager. I wonder if SwiftUI's appearance would have affected the decision, if it had dropped earlier.

Yeah, there's always trade offs. I think I speak for a lot of users who aren't enjoying the Electron experience. RN is not in the same category, but they tend to go hand-in-hand.
I would have loved to see: Swift cover the entire Apple ecosystem (migrate to SwiftUI in time), and perhaps RN/React for Android / Windows (where Microsoft are pushing Electron). Happy to trade longer waiting time on new features, for better performance.
Hi, Are there any plans to bring the iOS client to macOS (Catalina) using Catalyst? Might be a nice way to get rid of the Electron resource hog on macOS. Thanks, Marco
