Installed it. Opened the app. No amber login. Closed the app
Messaging is broken.
Signal is centralized.
SimpleX doesn't do groups well.
Session doesn't auto-rotate keys.
XMPP lacks multi-device support.
And Matrix leaks metadata & is slow.
Nostr DMs are currently horrible. But White Noise looks like a promising potential upcoming solution to all of these problems. It uses MLS for the actual encryption with Nostr keys just for identity.
MLS is able to offer easy scaling for groups, that isn't bogged down by being a bunch of one-on-ones in disguise as a group UI, the way signal, session, and simplex are. Check out, https://www.whitenoise.chat/

This is how it's done
Maybe we are nit supposed to login with existing accounts but create separate ones?
Could be, but I didn't saw anyone mentioning it. Did you?
Or they will add external signer support with a future update.
I just started with the citadel dispatch episode. Maybe it is mentioned. They are mentioning that this is still alpha and can / will be improved in many ways.
I think they will support amber in the future. But I'm curious what they say on the pod. Maybe you can tell after you've finished listening?
