Interesting - the Java version runs on Windows[0][1]! I suppose I'll check it out, then.

[0]: if you drop a dependency into the jar - https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko/releases/download/v0.7.40... (you want the DLL, the checksum, and the .dat)

Are you able to get messaging working on Windows? Their website says they only support linux currently.

Well, it's a Java app. It just works everywhere.

I was able to create an account just fine, though I don't have any contacts to message. I don't have any reason to believe it wouldn't work fine, though.
