Both Conversations and Monal are abysmal from modern UI/UX standpoint and don’t get even close to something like Whatsapp or Telegram (and those two have lots to improve themselves) Same can be said about desktop clients.

I second this notion. I was really excited to try it out, only to have it fail to run most of our projects: * can't use AWS SDK v3 because throws an error when parsing a response; * can't use octokit (or anything that depends on j
