I really like Signal, at least as far as I can tell from the UI and the single conversation I've managed to have using it.

The biggest problem that we (my whole friend group) seem to be having is that we can't find each other due to the fact that we don't use phone numbers for communication.

Are you thinking about ways to resolve this problem?

Is it any less secure to use email addresses for identification and discovery than phone numbers?

What about ways to share a unique user id?
