Hi! Sarah from the Open Privacy Research Society / Cwtch team here - happy to answer questions.

Looks interesting but the lack of an iOS client makes it a non-starter for me. I use Android but I have friends and family who don't.

Any thoughts about direct lan/vpn communications as an option? The use of tor makes a working high quality internet connection a requirement, and potentially makes it more attractive for attackers to DOS attack tor in order to make their targets move off Cwtch and onto less secure communications methods.

Lol, not often you find Welsh in the world of tech naming!

Looks nice, but all my friends care about are stickers and gifs...

How does it compare to SimpleX Chat?
