It looks like a pretty interesting product so I really hate to be that guy but the FAQ page at https://vexlio.com/faq/ straight up doesn't work (whenever I click any of the questions, it does nothing). Also, wanted to know if there was anything in the pipeline to get a Desktop application which would work offline. In several places in the enterprise world especially, I do feel there would be scope for that. I would definitely pay for a desktop version which worked offline for example.

Whoops - FAQ issue should be fixed if you refresh (if it's still broken, give it some time for caches to be invalidated). Thanks for mentioning that!

Re: desktop version. The short answer is yes, probably, but I don't have a concrete timeline. I made tech and architecture choices from the beginning to make sure a cross-platform desktop version always remains possible. Frankly, the biggest obstacle for desktop is not the app itself, but distribution and figuring out a pricing model. The current solution for enterprise, business, and other interested people, is to self-host Vexlio, with separate licensing.
