> While Signal is pretty awful on desktop

Weird. I find the desktop app pretty good.

I see people complaining about it being slow, but that's not been my experience.

My main complaint with the desktop app is that I really want it to sync message history with the phone app. If you, for example, don't use your laptop for a while, you'll have to re-authorize it and it won't have any messages from when it was off. I realize all of that is a trade-off for their security design, but having access to all my messages and being able to search them is important to me.
