Synchronous Messaging at Mozilla: The Decision

That is awesome, but any thoughts on why I cannot easily view the keys of my other devices in the UI?

If I could then this would be a minor inconvenience at best, I'd just copy/paste the key from the already-trusted device.

I guess we just prioritised working on cross-signing etc rather than adding in UI for this. Sorry; it's an oversight.

Thank you for your quick and patient answers to my perhaps too demanding questions.

Cross-signing is obviously better, no question about that. However this simple UI change would be at least 95% as good, and certainly good enough to have prevented my friends from giving up on Riot.

I hope that is at least somewhat constructive. Thank you for your work.

I guess https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/2735 is the bug to upvote. Annoying it's been stuck open forever :(
