Feature request: searchable chats

I've been trying to find this for ages, Slack will let you search chats for text. This and the official website only allow searching for the name of a group.

App Crashing 'unknown exception'

Uncaught Exception:
Error: Object has been destroyed
    at Error (native)
    at Function.electron.app.makeSingleInstance (/opt/groupme/resources/app.asar/index.js:17:17)

This seems to appear without an apparent cause after the application starts. I'll ignore the chat for a while and come back to an error notification. App seems to recover, at least occasionally, after this issue is encountered.

Feature request: Menu bar instead of dock

Hi,
Could you add a feature to open GroupMe from a menu bar icon, and have it hidden from the dock? Thanks.

Unable to login

GroupMe 1.1.1
darwin x64 19.4.0

Feature Request: Desktop Notifications

The installed electron app works great for me, although it is difficult to respond quickly since I often miss some messages. What steps would need to be made for a notification setting?

Client Crashes on Ubuntu 21.10 (v1.1.1)

Attempted an install on Ubuntu 21.10 Impish x64, got error code
GroupMe crashed with SIGSEGV in hb_face_reference_table()
ApportVersion: 2.20.11-ubuntu71.
Disassembly: Cannot access memory address "(Too lazy to copy the memory address)"

If this helps at all, I created .desktop files in both /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications and neither gave me an entry. Other .desktop edits I have done in both directories have shown up on my system recently.

Ctrl+F does not work for Search

It seems like Ctrl+F is bound to going into and leaving full screen. Not Search as defined by Chromium and even the context menus on the top of the program when 'Alt' is pushed
GroupMe 1.1.1
win32 ia32 6.1.7601

Release v1.1.2: No linux executable

Seems like there's no linux executable for version 1.1.2

App No Longer Starting

I cloned this repository and tried to run the app. This is the error output:

npm start

Fails to start more than once per boot

I am on Windows 10.
To reproduce, start the computer and open the app. Close the app. Then try to open the app again. You will be presented with the attached error window. A workaround is to open task manager, kill the still-running instances of Electron, and then open the app again.

Login with Facebook

Logging in with Facebook doesn't work. It pops up an oauth dialog in the browser and can't finish after that.

Executable File for Linux

Is the executable file in the master file 'GroupMe-master' or in the downloaded latest release 'GroupMe-linux-x64' ? It seems that neither of these work as executables when the file is placed in the /usr/share/applications directory and a desktop app linked to either/or from a position in the .local directory.

App no longer loading

Getting a blank screen when launching the app. Did something change?
