I’ve been trying to get Mattermost to run in a web container, so that I have a separate app to switch to when someone contacts me. On the Mac, there’s a cool app called Fluid ([http://www.fluidapp.com](http://www.fluidapp.com)), which has accomplished this several times before. With Mattermost, it worked for a short while, but the next day, it failed to load. I see in the web inspector that it’s complaining about: TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating ‘this.state.currentTeam.name’) Any ideas how to work around this? Thanks! ---

Matterfront looks interesting, i may give that a try! I also created a really simple chrome web app wrapper for mattermost that works pretty well for my team. Mattermost Chrome App: [https://github.com/tmuka/mattermost-chrome-app](https://github.com/tmuka/mattermost-chrome-app) ---

Thanks, @it33, i’d be happy to have it included in that list. It’s pretty simple, but it’s been working great for my team… ---

@H3Chief I gave Matterfront a spin and it looks promising but produced a fairly broken web layout (popups that couldn’t be dismissed, content scrolled off the screen, etc. I’m wondering if this is a function of in not being able to handle my 1.2.0-RC1 instance of Mattermost. Is it known to work with the stable version? Anybody else confirm it breaks with the current RC? ---

Thanks @tmuka! Link added, and [tweeted](https://twitter.com/mattermosthq/status/664202769151057920). Just curious, it looks like you made a fix [for this ticket](http://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/8684005-unite-messages-of-the-same-user) while you were making your app. Wondering how, or if, you dealt with the on\_hover for the individual messages? We’re been trying to figure out how to make this work so we could clear the ticket. @alerque, while we’re definitely excited about Matterfront I haven’t yet used it personally. @H3Chief had been working on it, not sure if he has feedback… ---

cool! @it33 Yeah, i used CSS to hide the username/timestamp for individual messages unless they are hovered. It may not be perfect since it doesn’t show the username the first time either, but i talk to the same people all the time. This CSS excerpt from > It does look like that could be easily adapted to only hide it for subsequent messages from the same user by adapting the css to look like `.same--user .post-header-post {` and `.same--user.post:hover .post-header-post {` does that make sense? I could write it all up if that helps… ---

Thanks @tmuka! Very cool, We’d probably need the username shown, but the CSS is helpful. I’ve added it to our [existing ticket accepting pull requests to add this to the product](https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/PLT-924?filter=10101), Highly appreciate your help!
