As a Signal user, I just wish I could make my own personal fork of the desktop app and still talk to everyone without having to use the beta servers and fear of having access cut off, because the visual design and UX of the desktop app is absolutely atrocious. And the latest update that was pushed a few days ago was a massive step back; the bloated UI now looks like some iOS app from 2007. It's just embarrassing. And don't even get me started on the lack of a search function -- something the mobile client has.
- Vinnl 8y agoHmm, if you can improve the UI by yourself, could you not submit a pull request to do that? That would probably still allow you to use the improved UI without fear of having access cut off. (I wasn't aware of a redesign - just updated, and I don't really like it either, but ah well.)
- moogly 8y agoIn theory yes, but I don't think the team would appreciate any old random schmuck to change their product's look-and-feel :)
