We are using Mattermost for over a year at work, and I would love to get a native client for their app, even a bare bones one. Currently running it with https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-mattermost but something more supported would be great
It's odd that that page refers to the desktop client as "native". The parts of an electron app that are native to the OS (as opposed to the OS-independent HTML/JS) are irrelevant to most people's desire for "native" apps.
The client is just an electron app (ie a very thin wrapper around a webpage). One of the more glaring examples is unable to monitor inactivity and set away status correctly.

you mean like... the official dekstop client @ https://github.com/mattermost/desktop ?

Electron is not native.
