Have you tried SimpleX?
Well first, I definitely prefer Signal over Telegram and Whatsapp.
TLDR: Keet is one application of Holepunch, a way for computers to connect directly, to send end-to-end encrypted messages without going through a central server (Signal, Whatsapp, etc). It also has voice and video calling, which are apparently more reliable and better quality than Signal and even Zoom because it’s directly device-device.
I’m still reluctant to fully embrace it over Signal and dive deep into the tech because A. it’s a whole new model to understand and doesn’t have a long established track record B. it’s yet another app to get my (normie) friends to start using, getting to Signal itself was a challenge. C. Not fully open source, parts of the code are intentionally obfuscated, which is suspicious.
On the other hand, it has a very strong recommendation by Guy Swann and there’s no shitcoin or plan/reason to add one. I recommend listening to Bitcoin Audible Read 640 and Chat 76. Or check out their docs here https://docs.holepunch.to/apps/keet.io It’s promising, but very early and also got overshadowed by Nostr. Cheers.
