Your comment about Signal threw off some thoughts :)
I've said before that I think Signal's UX is not great esp compared with other messaging apps.
The following just came to me so I'm going to digress for a bit into stream of consciousness.
* Signal allows for calling now so why not require a first call to verify the other party. I would think people are pretty good at recognizing voices.
* Or send an image and video call to verify?
Still looking for a Signal+Ricochet+Burner type app...
- harry8 11y agoI find the signal user interface just great. No really, it's fine. Just use it and recommend it to your friends and contacts. Full disclosure, I have no association whatsoever with signal, it's just good.
- newman314 11y agoFor example, I hate how the contacts list works. It doesn't show all my contacts, just some. Took me forever to figure out the ones in bold actually have Signal installed. Also, not intuitive that clicking on the name goes to text interface and the phone symbol calls. Contrast this with the standard Contacts interface. Phone, msg etc. are clearly laid out. Signal's UX is also confusing with the id being communicated with. For example, if there are multiple numbers, hard to tell which number you are messaging. These are all little quirks that add up to make it feel much clunkier than other interfaces.
