Windows app vs web desk
The full desk is the Windows app
The Windows app is the full Vesper Desk: see-through mode, pop-out windows, hotkeys, Kick and Twitch chat built in, and controls that keep many streams light. The web desk at /desk is a lighter preview for computers where you can't install it.
