Whilst I can’t speak about the ages or genders of who it’s designed by, it’s probable that you’re at least somewhat correct. Compared to other actually secure apps I have to disagree but compared to all apps out there including ones that aren’t secure, I agree it probably isn’t as fun as them.
Yeah, the stories would be better up the top, as you say.
For stickers that are sent to you in Signal on Desktop and ipad OS at least, I can just click/press on a sticker and there’s a big Install button there, will test on Android in a bit, if you want to add new ones that haven’t been sent to you, I agree it’s a bit of a faff but you have to go here: https://signalstickers.org and you can install from there.
I do agree that not having to go to a separate website if a sticker hasn’t been sent to me and I haven’t got it installed already would be nice, I really think they are missing a major feature there.
I’m not sure why material you is important, would you mind explaining a bit more about that?
Yeah, a list of links would be very much helpful, most of the messengers I use are missing that and I wish they’d add that feature.
By “No filename preservation for audio files.” do you mean when you download it then it gets changed from its original name or something else?
Disagree to a degree at least compared to others on the recommended list, it at least has some features beyond just privacy. However, yeah, it could design them better and have more features that make the UX better.
Thank you for such a fair and balanced response. Amazing work.

I enjoy homogenous design across my system. When I gave some of the FOSS alternate front ends to Telegram a try, it really taught me just how much it makes a difference. It’s such a tiny thing but it’s nice to have. It’s one of those things where it’s like the developer cared.

So me and one of my friends send each other tracks all the time. In Signal they’re all listed as “Voice Message • Sent by XXXXX” it’s just not useful.
Oh that makes sense. I use Linux and it’s really frustrating trying to get all programs etc to all look or work in the same ways sometimes. Especially the small number of closed source ones I use like Steam.
Oh yeah, I completely agree and wish Signal wouldn’t do that. I’ve noticed it for images too, I’m pretty sure.
Thank you for explaining.
