    Such is the state of Electron.
    I’m slowly stopping to care about web apps, however the amount of shit Electron causes is through the roof. Discord, Element, Signal, even Steam is full of it, so you just end up having 8 different “programs” running with every single one using at least around 400MB of RAM.
    Can’t wait to see something using Rust and Tauri. Graphite wink wink

      Okay, but can’t it be an optional feature? I’d like it if a new device could download message history from an old device by having both online at the same time.

        Optional how so? It’s a rotating key. Unless you have all of those keys to export into your computer, then you’ll be stuck with the current synced key.

          I don’t see why the current key can’t encrypt old messages and send those. I admit I might be missing something obvious though. Maybe something like not wanting to accidentally leak old messages? As in it’s less attack surface or something?
