One of the projects we’re working on at the office is a desktop version of TrioLive’s operator console. Those who use TrioLive are likely to use it extensively (certainly we use it extensively), so having a dedicated desktop version of the operator console makes a lot of sense.

One thing about the standalone version of TrioLive is that it’s much more responsive. Using TrioLive over the web, while nice and especially handy for those mobile users of the service, one still needs a browser
– and all of the memory and processing overhead that comes with one.

We’re already a good portion of the way there with the Desktop version — over halfway finished. We’ve just implemented the typing indicator and typing preview features of the web console. Sending files is also
supported. It’s actually a lot of fun working on the desktop application, since — because we do use AJAX heavily in TrioLive — a lot of the heavy lifting has already been done on the backend in PHP.

Once our beta testing of the TrioLive Desktop application is finished, we’ll be looking at the full integration of other products into the Desktop suite. So stay tuned — I think TrioLive Desktop is going to be a good one.
