Why does #Signal desktop client leave an impression that developers didn't give a fuck? Shitty Electron (why not just webapp then?), the only precompiled Linux binary is for Ubuntu, no Flatpak, no AppImage. Also that situation when it stored encryption keys in plaintext for years and they refused to fix it until some shitstorm.

I get it, the overwhelming majority use smartphones nowadays, but I still have my desktop. Telegram has great native desktop app, SimpleX has fine native desktop app, both with official AppImage and Flatpak releases. I don't believe that Signal has less developers than SimpleX.

Because signal UI/UX sucks for years and nobody cares. The only viable use-case is virtue signalling.
