The sudden uptick should create some sense of urgency, else they will loose out to other apps. I can imagine how pumped-up the folks at signal will be (atleast I hope so)

There are lot of low-hanging fruits which are quality of life improvement e.g #1 ask from my non-technical family members: Background wallpaper :)

Another feature: WhatsApp migration

+ Its open source, if they are willing to accept PRs things could accelerate

It seems like you’ve never followed Signal closely (or what happens with feedback and requests). Signal is not one to worry about losing out to other apps. If that had been the case, it would be a lot more feature rich by now than what it is. Signal moves at a glacial pace compared to its competitors.
