Actually, I was waiting for the small guys to take over the basic chat function from the big boys, but they never did. So... I guess forcing it is

Taking over = Building a better daily driver. Not just Nip-17.
Peeps don't go to other apps for basic functions.
They go to other apps to create, display or find the niche, funky, advanced content types their daily driver(s) don't handle.
Chat is not one of those content types.
It's the n°1 daily use content type.
Still makes me lol, that it's the farmer that only really codes since half a year that is taking this challenge head on.
Slow and steady 🐢, better daily driver here we come!
I think people are overcomplicating chats by a lot.
2 Billion people use WhatsApp for the chat function alone. No other function is needed. They don't even have a notifications tab. No zaps. Reactions barely work and most people don't even know its there.
It's not about the amount of features. It's about a very usable core feature set.
Copy that core feature set and see who switches for that. Crickets.
WhatsApp has network + the core feature set they have is underestimated AF by devs here.
The image handling alone :eyes:
