Thanks for the feedback! I agree with some of these complaints (e.g. I very much wanted to fix the push notification registration process in this release), but I'd like to clarify a few things: * Needing an SSL certificate should not really be a barrier. We now have an installer option to use Certbot which works great if you're on the public Internet, and if you're not, we have simple instructions for creating a self-signed certificate. * Zulip has never had a Cordova app. I assume you're referring to the [legacy Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zulip.android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zulip.andr...), which was written in Java (and is deprecated in favor of [an RN app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zulipmobile&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zulipmobil...) which lets us share most of the hard work of mobile development between Android and iOS). * I'm surprised by your comment about search; we often hear from users that they love Zulip's search. Can you open an issue with more details about what you're seeing? I'm wondering if e.g. search is broken in the Docker image. As a sidenote, for the Electron desktop app in particular, all the performance issues that we could reproduce went away with the latest update (not because we changed something in our code, but because we upgraded Electron which had upgraded Chromium to a newer version with fewer performance bugs). If you're still seeing issues with app version 1.9.0, I'd love to see a profile captured from the app's developer tools.
