    Yeah, it’s a cool toy, but when I was picking a messenger to sell my SO on, Simplex failed my basic requirements:

    • works on phone, desktop and laptop (messages arrive everywhere reliably)

    Signal passed, so we went with that.

    Simplex is still rad though, and I want to try building something on top of the protocol. I’m working on a P2P Reddit/Lemmy, and Simplex could be rad for DMs or something.
