- subliminalpanda 10y agoWhat are their protocol's shortcomings?
- cvwright 10y agoInteresting. Which code of yours are they using now? After the last flare up on Twitter, I thought they wrote their own implementation, using the Signal code as a reference.
- terraforming 10y agoWhy do you not recommend? Hopefully you're not just saying that because they aren't Signal.. ------------------------------------------------ I've been using Wire for a few weeks now and I'm absolutely happy. They recently released a linux client https://medium.com/wire-news/get-your-linux-on-999403a1a4fe#.ju81mo5lm https://medium.com/wire-news/get-your-linux-on-999403a1a4fe#... (not a chrome app!) (though I think it's electron). I'm quite happy with them, give them a try.
- Siimteller 10y agoCorrect, built with Electron like our Windows and macOS apps. Glad you're enjoying it. Possible reason: https://medium.com/@wireapp/axolotl-and-proteus-788519b186a7#.89118rx5s https://medium.com/@wireapp/axolotl-and-proteus-788519b186a7...
