Their core feature is secure messaging, so I'd say this result highlights their dedication to the secure aspect of it. So an excellent feature in terms of branding, and probably has more benefits in other places e.g. attracting talent, as developers now can see Signal offers great opportunities to work on complex problems.
So I'm curious; what do you think would be better investment of their time?
Like allowing a federated system instead of a central one, not depending in external libraries and services, and so on. I bet there are many things that would actually improve the security instead of this that is more of a marketing point.
they will not make a federated system and they said so, quite strongly. if you want that you'll need to wait for matrix to grow up.
Simplex is ready today, assuming you just want 1:1 messaging.
