Ferdi
🤴🏽 Hard-fork of Franz, adding awesome features and removing unwanted features.
Features
- [x] Removes the counter-productive fullscreen app delay inviting users to upgrade
- [x] Removes pages begging you to donate after registration
- [x] Makes all users Premium by default
- [x] Add option to change server to a custom ferdi-server
- [x] Remove "Franz is better together" popup
- [x] Makes RocketChat self-hosted generally available
- [x] Comes with a custom branding proper to Ferdi
Servers
Ferdi adds the option to change your Ferdi server. By default, this will be https://api.franzinfra.com - the official Franz server. This allows Ferdi to stay compatible with your current Franz account.
If you want to experience all Ferdi features, you may want to use a custom ferdi-server. ferdi-server allows you to use Premium features without restrictions and adds the ability to package and add additional recipes. You can also import your existing Franz account into your ferdi-server to start right where you left off.
More information on how to set up a ferdi-server can be found at https://github.com/vantezzen/ferdi-server/blob/master/README.md.
