I discovered https://github.com/stonesam92/ChitChat
A couple weeks ago. One thing it does better than the official app is that on Mac the red window button hides the window rather than terminating the process.
We used to do this with Fluid.app in the naughties.

I'm doing this currently with Chrome Apps.
Some ways in which the official app is better: * The official app extends to the edges of the window, whereas the web app has a "window on a background" design, which takes up more space. * The official app has keyboard shortcuts. * The official app has better notifications.
