- Make the desktop app mainly a file-syncing client for users who have lots of documents that they need to share with Khoj. This is because the web app provides a fairly robust chat client which can be used by anyone on their computer. - The chat client in the desktop app had significantly drifted from our current brand / them, and didn't provide enough value add to update. Later, we will make it easier to install the existing web app as a desktop PWA.
