Some things that come to mind on a quick reading of the website you linked:

- you can only sign up by using github. This is equally nonsensical as requiring a facebook account to sign up. I have neither. But I have e-mail, so why can't I play along?

- I legitimately cannot tell what platform this is on. Is it a webapp or is it a OSX/mac only local application?

- Does it exist on mobile?

I mean this as constructive criticism and I hope that somebody related to the project/company reads this and improves the information. But from what I can see this application is locked down for those on github and who operate macs. That makes it useless to a whole lot of people.

That does make a lot of sense. I suppose the barrier to entry is a lot lower with Discord.

To answer your question it's just a web app so it works on any platform. [1]

The author talked a while ago how he regretted not building it with react-native-web. [2]
