Anything in specific that you dislike, that if changed would significantly improve the whole experience?

Or is it a more of an overall stance 🤔

Just sort of slow, notifications sometimes don't work, hosting your own server is buggy, just wasn't good experience for me

Would have to agree unfortunately, still a lot to be done for it to go mainstream like Signal has

And even signal is not really mainstream, barely anyone in my contacts uses it. They are all on WhatsApp in my country. And simplex is less userfriendly, and the ux is worse also. Honestly I'm already happy when people I know join Signal, simplex would be to complicated for them.

The buggyness I can get through. It doesn't crash as often as amethyst (amethyst is moving way more data though). But I think it's main flaw is moving device to device is to backup and restore your database. Though for a secure chat platform that can use onions and host your down server, I kinda don't mind just throwing away an 'identity' anyway I reckon

Interesting. I've literally never had Amethyst crash. Primal crashes pretty regularly for me.

Pixel 5a with GrapheneOS fwiw

It does not have push notifications, if you want them fast the app needs to run all the time.
