Iris Desktop is here! No more dependency on Iris.to domain name, hosting provider or internet access. This version doesn't have the autoupdater, so I can't even push broken versions.

Macos, Windows and Ubuntu versions available. They're built by Github CI, so they're unsigned for now. You'll have to override the "unidentified developer" warnings. Mac instructions: https://www.macworld.com/article/672947/how-to-open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer.html

Iris gets desktop version 👏! Awesome!

Nice, electron bundled?

Tauri — much nicer than the 200 MB electron bundles 🙂

Oh first time to heard it, really big plus compared to bloated electron 😅

This is built on https://tauri.app/. Unlike the current mobile apps which just connect to iris.to, this desktop version is actually "self-hosted". Tauri Mobile is in alpha, I could try it out also.

Nice!

when I click on the bolt in the profile.... just fyi (ubuntu budgie desktop 22.04)

The Mac version isn’t opening links for me. Is it my laptop or the app?

Seems to be the app.

This is snappy!

Iris is now available as a standalone desktop version for Windows, MacOS and Linux. It's the first version so report back all the bugs you can find.

Nice! Good to see some love for macOS Intel platform 🙂

I find myself having to refresh the page to get the latest feeds. Is there an auto-refresh setting? Both desktop and webpage behave like this. Also, is there a way to filter or possibly auto-translate posts in other languages?

thank you, that’s awesome! ⚡probably a stupid question, but: any way to change the font size? :)

#[0] Iris is now available as desktop application for #Linux, #Mac, and #Windows.

Ok I’m a simple pleb…. Which of these is the windows application?

*.msi

#[2] would be great to have a proxy setting menu. For now I cannot connect to relays on my PC, because I need to use a proxy.

How to use this online w/out sending my private key across the wires 🤔

Iris rocks. Using the android version, small package size and super responsive!
