Earlier this year Google and Ubuntu approached us with an open brief, to try and create a full-scale  desktop application for Linux, macOS, Web, and Windows.  The result was Flokk, which we released ( and open-sourced) back in July.

In this post, we’re going to dive into some of the challenges we faced, the discoveries we made, and desktop-specific features that we added.

Warning…
