SimpleX Chat - Next Level Private Messaging
There are still people who do not yet use SimpleX chat. It really is time to install SimpleX.chat
I feel like naming it after herpes wasn’t the best idea
Any reason to use this over signal with friends and family?
Not really. Signal has a better app at this time.
can it be used on desktop alongside mobile yet? that was a dealbreaker for me last time.
Yes.
You can link your mobile device with desktop to use the same profile remotely, but this is only possible when both devices are connected to the same local network.

You only made me not want to install it.

I didn’t watch it, I’ve used simplex… Yeah that’s an awful argument, but the tool is interesting.
What I find most interesting about it is, it’s kind of like signal but with a random and rotatable phone number. If you hypothetically had your “phone number” leaked or started getting spammed on it, you just regenerate it, your existing conversations get the updated phone number and continue to work while new conversations can’t be started with the number you just threw out.
You can also create different profiles for different situations, e.g. you could have one for people you meet online vs in person vs in your job.
