I'm all for no-nonsense, but I'd qualify Signal as barebones in some regards. Two features that routinely annoy me: no way to synchronize previous messages when linking a new client, no way to change the spellchecker language in the desktop app.
I want Signal to succeed but I always hesitate to recommend it because it always feels like an early beta product to me, not something ready for prime time.
- busymom0 6y ago> no way to synchronize previous messages when linking a new client Isn't this because of how true end to end encryption works and Signal treating each user devices as an independent device and not "syncing"? Here's a discussion on it: https://community.signalusers.org/t/message-history-sync-for-newly-linked-desktop-and-ipad-devices/2839/24 https://community.signalusers.org/t/message-history-sync-for...
- afiori 6y agothe reality is that signal is a secure communication app, not a messaging app. syncing old messages has unavoidable security problems and so signal chooses (as they should given their goals) not to implement it.
