Kudos!!! I must add that your blog post on this subject is quite original, and I learned a lot from it. The new desktop app from Poe allows you to access all the AI chatbots in one place. The goal of Poe is to be the web browser for accessing and using AI chatbots, and right about now, the app just got a whole lot of updates. I would like to invite you to visit my website and read more about this subject on my own blog.

Currently eyeing this for 3.4 (next) release of desktop app.

Ivan Kanevski: Thanks :)

Ivan Kanevski Awesome! Will we still be able to get to the settings behind it, like with the Alt key, or something?
It would also be great to be able to hide the very top bar, or combine the two so there is only one, which would also combine File, Edit, etc, and the minimise, maximise, etc, buttons.

Ivan Kanevski: Glad to hear it's on your radar. There's currently 2 areas of wasted space and UI ugliness, the menu bar and the title bar. Both should be integrated into the same bar as the search field, as can be seen with Asana and Todoist. Can you please clarify whether this will be the case, or are you only moving the menu bar?
Ivan Kanevski
Yes, we are planning to remove both bars.

Yeah. It would be nice to hide menu bar in Windows desktop app. You do not need this in full screen mode.
Guy Mannerings
Please can this happen? It's wasted space that could easily be hidden.

I just made my own version of the app (Electron)

Reece Atkinson: would love an electron version of this. care to share how you made it? was it difficult?
Reece Atkinson
Nshan Petrosyan: It worked but with a few losses: No close button (you have to close from taskbar), does not work with Mac (unless you want it to). I am a developer so it wasn't very difficult. If you want to know more give me a shout!

Reece Atkinson: Would absolutely be willing to sacrifice that stuff to make this work. I'm on PC.

It takes up too much space which could be better used with the favourites bar of lists and views

Not only this, but in dark mode at least make the top bar dark too instead of being the only white bar on screen
