Usable for technical people,but as they note at the end of the blog post, they have ways to go with respect to first time user experience.
I tried getting a team of tech savvy people to use it for backup encrypted comms, the UX was horrid, the key verification just didn't work at the time. Hopefully this is fixed.
I am hoping a commercial product comes out of this,so they have proper QA and UAT. The FOSS approach of filing an issue/bug when basic things fail does not translate well to a generic audience. The protocol and Riot are actually decent,but I think the UX has yet to catch up with the rich feature set.
Both Signal and Slack just worked. Slack has great UX, Signal is mediocre but from a security perspective, many things are non-obvious which to me feels like a dark pattern of insecurity,Riot maybe more painful but fails in more obvious ways.
