I tried it a while back but never really liked it. Clunky UI and the project in general seemed to have a lot of problems. The kickstarter project was basically a ripoff, the project management is (or at least was) scattered and basically non-existing. I have much better experience with Matrix[1]/Riot[2]. Matrix is an open protocol with end-to-end encryption (still beta IIRC) and is federated (like IRC) rather than fully distributed. Matrix is now a stable project with funding and riot has a future business plan to also continue develop. 1. https://matrix.org https://matrix.org 2. https://riot.im https://riot.im
