Stephen Paul Weberposted, “@ioi-xd.net If you have specific UX feedback based on apps you’ve tried I’d be happy to hear it. Maybe I can fix them in my XMPP-based apps 🙂” in reply to @ 2024-317 20:49 UTC
@ioi-xd.net Sure but the standard doesn’t specify any UI. I agree a lot of apps have bugs around e2ee stuff. Thanks for the feedback I’ll keep that in mind. (http://sngpl.ma/t5_05)
And I appreciate your work but I couldn’t see myself making a better chat standard when the only reason I’m even on Discord is because It’s What My Friends Use™.
Discord sucks and I can’t really use anything else sadly, it’s just the way the cookie crumbles.
Biggest gripe is that everyone who has asked me to use it has insisted I turn on encryption which ends up causing lost messages across devices/reinstalls. This is amidst many other problems that make it very clunky.
When I say UX I don’t mean a specific app, I mean problems with the standard itself
If you want something you can do better: the best XMPP app I found on Android downloads every image you get sent to your library by default. That’s horrible and shouldn’t be done.
