No, it's not that simple at all. The Signal desktop app is bad in ways that have nothing to do with Electron at all.
Most importantly, it's bad at protecting my privacy. You can't show any message to anyone on your screen or have someone look over your shoulder unless you want them to see who you recently communicated with in what order as well as the start of the most recent messages.

I always wondered why there's no option to at least hide the most recent messages and dates (or temporarily hide the whole sidebar). I guess most people are either fine with it or use their phone instead (and using Signal-Desktop in public / when someone's looking is probably uncommon). It seems like at least Telegram-Desktop has this issue as well (not sure if there's an option for it). Anyway, a slight modification to the UI to hide/minimize the sidebar would be something I'd appreciate for those rare situations.
- fauigerzigerk 6y agoI think it's a pretty common situation for someone to come up to your desk to talk about something they sent you earlier. Not rare for me at all.
