FYI: Facebook got rid of their messenger app #2350

Yesterday, Facebook decided to close down their Windows Facebook Messenger for Desktop app, telling people to migrate to their Facebook app.

The whole reason I install messenger apps on desktop is so that I can see a count of unread messages in my taskbar. The Facebook app does not appear to have this feature.

Anyway, just a head's up that you may get an influx of folks interested in Caprine.

I also see that there haven't been any commits to this repo in almost a year. Is this app still in working order? Now might be a good time to fix it up :)

edit: I installed Caprine and it shows a message notification in the taskbar. Yay. Should work nicely to replace Facebook Messenger for Desktop on my Windows 10 machine.
