Somebody is actually using Duo the chat outside Google?

I recently started using it. It's nice because it comes with E2E encryption and is usable on desktop. Alternatives all have various limitations: Skype (no E2E encryption), Signal (no calls on PCs), iMessage (only usable for Apple users), Wire (requires additional program installation and account creation).

I haven't used the desktop Signal app, but there appears to be one:

Yes, Signal and WhatsApp both have desktop apps, but they're only for text chat, neither do voice calls like their mobile counterparts.
