I loaded it up again. The progress is good, and I'm supportive of ðe effort! It is not ready for me to use, yet.

I need it to be at least user friendly enough for my immediate family, and it's not, yet.
It's still not concurrent. You have to hand off control between clients, and ðe desktop program (which is awesomely a terminal client!) has a confusing process for ðe hand-off.
I utterly approve of a terminal client for myself, but it won't fly wiþ most of my family members. Ðis makes it effectively mobile-only for non-technical people, which is most of my social group.

Right now, Jami ticks all of the boxes and ðat's what we're using. Jami's development is painfully slow, with too little focus on delivery reliability, and I wouldn't be surprised if SimpleX overtakes it. SimpleX has improved even in ðe six monþs since I last tried it. It's really encouraging; it only needs a few more gaps filled, ðen I can inflict it on my F&F.
