The Security, Usability and Multi-Device-Problem of Messaging Apps

Given that the OP didn't know about Signal-Desktop 4 hours ago when I told them (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10750637 ) and was bashing Signal then for not supporting it, I'd say tajzin has at most had a cursory look at it. I'm not sure how or why they feel qualified to blog about it.

I've been using Signal-Desktop since the first days of the Beta and so far it's been a really pleasant experience. Big thank you to all involved!

Signal having all three qualities author is blogging about: security, multi-device cync, and usability basically makes this post and SMU theory nil. This looks like a case of "I have my theory, now lets bend facts to fit the theory".

I'd argue that usability in Signal isn't that great for other reasons, particularly around the contact list.

I responded in another thread about this. [1]

Since when do you need qualifications to blog about something?
