MacOS: closing the window should not close the app
When I click the red bubble in the WorkFlowy window, I expect the window to close, but I also expect WorkFlowy to keep running. What I mean is that (a) the 'app running' black indicator dot should remain visible in the MacOS dock, (b) when I click the WorkFlowy icon in my doc the app should re-appear on screen instead of restart (which is time-consuming and confusing), and (c) I should be able to cmd+tab to WorkFlowy after having closed it using the red bubble.
This is normal behaviour in any other app that I use, bar WorkFlowy. It catches me out multiple times a day. The only workaround I know is to hide (cmd+H) WorkFlowy instead of closing its window (cmd+W).
In other words: I expect a different behaviour when I close the WorkFlowy window (cmd+W) compared to when I quit the WorkFlowy app (cmd+Q). Now, both actions incorrectly result in WorkFlowy quitting.

Same for me as @Joel says.
As an advanced Mac user I switch between windows quick. When I don't need them, I [CMD] + [W] and get them back to focus with a quick launcher.
I apply this pattern to all Mac apps. In case of WorkFlowy the App is being actually closed. When I trigger it via Quick Launcher, I need to wait for it to load. That kinda breaks my flow and makes me use WorkFlowy less.
