Is there anyone familiar with #Signal from #openwhispersystems development on here? If so, any estimates on when the standalone desktop version will be released?
I'm an alpha tester for #signal #messenger on the desktop now. Already works flawlessly but could use a couple of more settings configurable.
@Maltimore but Electron… it's essentially Chrome. I not sure if it leaks IPs via WebRTC, but I don't trust it.

I only know Electron to the extent that I know what it is (as in, I understand the use-case).
When you say you don't trust it, do you mean you think it has accidental security holes, or intential data collection mechanisms? It being a fully open source framework, I think the latter should be impossible right?
