Ferdium Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Sparkle: A software update framework for macOS

  Also, as a different approach, to some degree Ferdium can act as a central place for various messaging platforms even if the integration that Pidgin (and Adium) and libPurple provided is not possible this way. Station is similar and a bit better but is in desperate need of developers. Both are FLOSS. https://ferdium.org/ https://getstation.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Is there a place to suggest software you'd like to be on the AUR? If not, let it be here!

  For a long time, I have been using Ferdium for having all communicators in one place. Ferdium (forked from Ferdi, but there is also Rambox and few more apps) is not a smart solution. Basically, it's Electron based frames with common notification framework. Source: almost 2 years ago

  I dont think I understand, from their website, what that product is. It just combines various web apps into a single desktop window? Source: almost 2 years ago

• What are peoples favorite free and open source software

  On the same note, Ferdium. Ferdium is really nice isolated way of accessing my chat/email/feed/social media. It was annoying when I needed to keep my browser open at all times, and it's more convenient to centralize it in one place that's automatically saved for when I distro-hop. Its dark mode works well enough, and userscript support... isn't mature, but works well enough to block some ads. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Unified messaging platform.

  There's Ferdium - https://ferdium.org/ - it's kind like a web browser for apps. Source: almost 2 years ago

• App that takes web applications and creates a software app feel.

  I use Ferdium. Its FOSS, forked from Franz. I use it because its cross platform and consistent across all platforms. Also you can make an account and it syncs all apps. Source: almost 2 years ago
