Telegram is a suprisingly good app.

  • Open source clients
  • Decent Linux client on the laptop (whatsapp desktop is just terrible)
  • It can be downloaded without Google's appstore.

I wish other apps were half as good as Telegram.

  • More importantly, non-electron app.

It bothers me that the major complaint is not the privacy issues or the people who own it behind the scenes...

but the technology used to build the desktop application. Electron is just a tool.
