Windows notes
You'll likely see a Windows Defender SmartScreen warning when installing the app. If so, click "More info" then "Run anyway".
This nag screen appears because the BETA version of our Windows app isn't code signed. Code signing is a complicated and expensive process that we'll implement if the Windows app gets more widely adopted.
Why native apps?
Short version:
Because we wanted better bluetooth.
Long version:
Browser-based bluetooth is Chromium-only, buggy, slower, and doesn't support device saving. With native apps...
- Connecting is faster
- Devices stay connected throughout the session
- Devices can be saved (auto-connect)
The native app is essentially a lightweight browser window with native bluetooth bolted-on, hence the tiny app size.
Will the browser version still work?
Yes! It'll still work, with the same features (and limitations) as before.
