   I’m sure I’m totally late to this party but in case someone else hasn’t heard about this, this app is really cool.

     @didier Yeah, stuff like Signal I'd expect to need to remain on device. I'll check it out!

     @mrdiamondj some apps it deals with locally on the device so native app is needed. Some they do via the API in the cloud.

     Of course… which messaging app shits its pants and flags this as suspicious activity after a few DMs? I’ll help you, it starts with D and ends with iscord 🙄
