I guess lots of people are interested in using a Desktop version of eSteem, but if you download from 's post directly, it would not work right away. So here is how to make it work:
1. Download here
2. Go to settings and change websocket to wss://steemd.steemit.com
3. Close app and open again
Thanks for telling me this method! I am spreading this message as so many people need a desktop version desparately! :)
And I am really looking forward to the v2 of eSteem Desktop app!
