Signal is pretty awesome, it's by far the best that we have right now:

  • state of the art crypto
  • open source
  • free as in beer
  • Available for Android and iOS

There are a few minor features that are missing but I can live with that. However, there are also a couple of important shortcomings:

  • no decentralization
  • use of the phone number

I hope they can be fixed sooner or later.
