This is what I wish Signal was. A simple secure messenger that works with a username and not tied to an identity like phone number :-( Like HN......

Now that I'd happily pay for.

Yep. Me too. The network meta-data is always present (IP, src, dst, date, time, etc.). Law enforcement could use that to find criminal actors committing crimes on the app.

But having such an app would allow law abiding individuals to communicate privately and securely without disclosing their personally identifying data to anyone.
