MODERATORS
Any reason Signal couldn't offer a web app client?
cuz they dont store msgs on a server. feature, not a bug
Web browsers have a local storage API.
Signal mentioned that their apps were best for security and a web browser had too many vulnerabilities that they couldn't guarantee.
They prefer to manage their own apps - a signal desktop app being one of them.
