I was excited when this came out, but I'm ambivalent about it now. First of all, it doesn't actually solve the issue I mentioned, since it's not actually "native" in the sense I was talking about; it's just a cross-platform Go app. Second, it's not open source, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable trusting such an app with my login credentials.

Same. I'm down to one closed-source software package installed on my machine, zero in regular use. Adding to that number is a net negative. I'd be happy to pay to use it, but not having control over it is just not an option anymore.

"eul doesn't ask for your passwords and doesn't store them anywhere. Authentication is performed in a browser directly on the messenger's website."

I haven't actually looked at the binary but supposedly it's written in C.

I see a lot of companies drawing that conclusion from such premise (and you're using C, which really decreases the odds that my data is really safe).

Using that sentence on your main page makes it look shady. Specially if you're not a security company.

IMHO, if you remove "Your data is safe" it will look much more professional.

Skype protocol is proprietary and obfuscated, so I assume that you are going just to pack a browser inside an app.

There is no browser packed :) It's 100 KB.

This looks like something useful, but it doesn't work on MacOS 10.12. Any chance of that happening?

Ah, I guess I messed up with the info.plist file. I'll push a fix.

For now you can run it from Terminal.

Any plans to support Skype for Business?

Yes! It will be supported very soon.
