Signal is having technical difficulties

I don't see a banner on the top of my app. I only found out when the desktop client kept timing out with 502 errors and after asking on Twitter, found other people were having issues too.

It's there on https://status.signal.org/ though.

There is a banner in the Android app, not on the desktop.

For me it's the other way around, haven't had any banners or anything on Android, whereas the desktop client has, and messages have been throwing 50x errors, while the mobile messages just seem to take ages to send.

The desktop app shows a yellow "DISCONNECTED - Check your network connection" warning. They probably should work on better error/status reporting in next version.

Desktop app is still behind the mobile in a few things but they are getting closer these days

Yeah I was very positively surprised to find that the desktop app has a large number of useful keyboard shortcuts: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360036517511-Si...

Thanks! They're listed in the menu of the desktop app as well: Help | Show Keyboard Shortcuts

I didn't see the banner in the Android app until I tried to send a message.
