Came to say just that. Was very disappointed it was Chrome app only.

I'm disappointed, but only a little bit.

Moxie has already given me secure communications and free text, media and voice messaging the world over so I can't complain too much.

Oh very much so. What's been done with textsecure/signal is amazing.

I'm far more held back by not being able to get friends to switch from just chatting with Facebook app / Kik / Whatsapp etc than it being a browser app. I know I'm the outlier here. :)

On the bright side, it would work on a ChromeBook.

Honestly, I don't know. I don't have one. But, for the price, I can see a lot of cool circumstances where a ChromeBook (or maybe Chromebox) could be very useful.
