Can’t you text on Android from a computer via Google’s site? I seem to remember reading about that. I’ve never tried it, though — and it would be through a web browser (and likely requiring a Google account/login, though the latter could be said about iMessage/Apple account).
Yeah, Google messages works great from the web. I just really want a native client for RCS messages; granted Google was supposed to open RCS for others to implement but never did. I could totally live with a web app, but it’s still a painpoint nonetheless.
What I’m thinking being that this is Linux and I feel like that gives you more options — some kind of dedicated browser or like a web app. So it could be done. Like I always have iMessage open on my desktop. I have a loose grid of apps I keep open. I don’t see my wallpaper. I wonder if you could do that with a web app or a web view, like no toolbars, just the page in a window.
Oh for sure, I could always use a web wrapper app for Google messages and keep it in a workspace like I do with iMessage. There’s a bunch of them out there that turn websites into desktop apps.
