You want your encrypted chat application to emit DNS queries to your ISP. As another Signal user, I do not want that. Nor do I want the bloat of this and other features that will make the core functionality worse. Next we'll want Memoji's and animated drawings and fireworks.

My point is, there is already an app for that. Signal has a completely different purpose.

Chromecast support would be cool, not sure if this is possible though.

I've been doing this for a while.

I didn't make an app to customize this list. Nor am I going to spend the next twenty minutes explaining why it works for me.

It works for me.

I've been administering a vBulletin forum for 8 years or so. Let me tell you, this is a great idea.

Just yesterday, I was evaluating a bunch of forum software and came out empty handed:

The OSS forum scene is just depressing, some of the more popular packages still use tables for layout. I themed a table based layout (vBulletin 3.x) once, _never_ again.

The paid packages are just full of shit no-one needs. vBulletin is basically social networking software at this point. These things are so complicated only geeks, and I say that with love, can possibly figure out how to use them. It's a pissing match between competitors.

However, no import (as far as I can tell) means I can't move over to Discourse. And, in your FAQ, you actually suggest that I shouldn't move. I think you underestimate how much hate I have for forum software.

As a developer, Jeff, what I really want is SO self-policing features, as a service that I can use in other products. Discourse is nice and all, but I want to build something more than a forum.

I signed up, but the quality of the stream is really not that good. It fluctuates between 480 and sometimes hits up to 1500 for ten seconds. I never get the 3500kbps stream that I think should be available.
