Why are you not using Signal / Textsecure or any other of these new apps which have privacy in mind. IIRC they even said Hemlis won't be open source according to their FAQ so I don't think these 3 guys would've pulled this off any better than Telegram even with their dubious encryption.
- Amir98 12y agoI can use these apps but in order to be able to recommend it to my friends as an app that can replace Whatsapp or Viber, it should have a comparable UI/UX. I too was concerned about their source availability approach. What will you suggest that meets these criteria?
- dewey 12y agoI'd suggest WhisperSystem's Signal [0], it's currently available on iOS and Android [1] and open source [2].

- flurp 12y agoSeems they changed their mind about open source, according to the comments section[1] "We’ll release the usable parts of the code as free software with the most free license we can. It belongs to the community (and the community paid for it)." [1] http://blog.brokep.com/2015/04/22/update-on-heml-is/#comment-1957 http://blog.brokep.com/2015/04/22/update-on-heml-is/#comment...
