It works faster & better than Signal Desktop.

Genuinely surprised at this - I've never heard of signal desktop not being fast, or good. Works a1 for me.

Signal Desktop is having its db corrupted every other time I launch it, and wants me to reconnect to the phone. The UX is OKish.

Your storage is dying, any Electron based app will lose its database in this scenario.

Nope. It's only Signal.

yeah, it's fine for me - probably as good as an electron app can get (def not good as a true native app but it's def better than having to use my phone...)

If you start to have higher message volumes, Element Desktop handles syncing on first launch much more gracefully than Signal Desktop.

That's not a high bar.
