@rrhoover great question! We're huge fans of the web, which is where our primary admin client lives - but we've seen huge benefits from the native apps like Slack (and producthunt!) which generally command more attention from users with a more active presence on their device. Native apps are distinguished from the plethora of open browser tabs, and also benefit from having assets preloaded for fast performance 😄 In addition we used Electron; so we didn't need to build entirely new apps for every platform - we were able to quickly and easily repurpose our existing ember.js client! Had a ton of fun working on this, and have really enjoyed hearing how many people have been enjoying using it already 👻

@johnonolan @rrhoover How do you like your experience with Electron so far ? :)

@novica93 I would summarise it like this => 😍 We used Ember-Electron, by @felixrieseberg - so it's actually an Electron app wrapping an Ember app wrapping a webview. Which means it's a near-identical stack to Ghost itself and is phenomenally easy to work on as a result!

@johnonolan Congrats John. Looking forward to trying it out.

@johnonolan Nice, I was planning on writing an article on my Ghost blog tomorrow. I'll try the desktop client.

@johnonolan nice work!
