@tweece The latest build is much smoother (but sadly isn't out yet), but you do you!

@dansup I never said it wasnt smooth, it very much is! Just feels out of place and not very native on iOS. Until a swift ui alternative comes out, I think signal app is still the best option on iOS for messaging

Though, a benefit of of sup over signal would be not needing a phone number to sign up for an account, though. Can use pre-existing handle or make a new one.

Me personally, I would take the extra privacy over the sacrifice of the UI being a little non-native in sup, if that winds up being the case. As long as the encryption methods are up to par.

Not to mention there will be the option of running a personal instance, so then the encrypted messages aren't even stored on someone else's server to get hacked and cracked.

I don't have the time to run a server myself rn but the option presumably will be there for people who can run their own server and need that level of privacy.

@dansup @tweece Unfortunately, as long as you use React Native, this is the reaction you can expect from the people who strongly appreciate platform aesthetics and functionality. There really isn't a cross-platform UI toolkit that will produce apps that feel properly native, and most likely there will never be one.

The only way to make an app that feels good on each platform is to do it in native code on both platforms.
