Would this project be interested in having a relay server to mask communications between peers? It’d make this a slick solution for messaging between friends online.

Well technically with compilers like Rust, you need a Rust compiler to actually compile Rust for you. That’s likely why they give binaries for such a thing.

Firefox though is a nice convenience.

Whenever you have applications were implementations are plentiful the only real differentiation you can do without creating a different user experience is the technologies used to develop it. The importance of which in people’s perspective is several things, mostly supporting technologies they like and want to see grow and possibly being skilled in the underlying technologies to actually contribute back.

Certain technologies are also just hot garbage, I swear to God if I have to install another electron app for some messaging platform I will shit myself.
