That way the user wouldn’t even need to open the email to get the code - they could just glance at the notification.

This might cause friction. I’d suggest moving the “server” field onto both the login and the signup screens, so that you make this initial action a really simple choice. <br/><br/>Plus, didn’t you make a “forgot my sever” feature? I think that would make sense to have in the login screen, next to the server dropdown. 2025-01-27T09:57:41+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs95urzddtx04cyprgpucjuy70ec0ekejle6k2tuxjumzy5aakehxqzyr0ga8h5ygcyqad7czmwg3cvktln00epefw8mgmvh0jpw6e5zzsgvf74swf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0uuxn98qrmdtw7v9pruk3ds62h3f0g2tqws8w7s66qlvjujvtapc39vkdg'>nevent1q…vkdg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>can confirm, it’s waaaaay faster!

WhatsApp deletes your account after 60 days of inactivity anyway. So this way, you update your profile to tell people where to contact you instead, uninstall the app, and that information will be visible for 2 months before your account gets deleted. <br/><br/>I do appreciate that not everyone can delete WhatsApp, but if you ever plan to, I found that to be a good way of doing it. 2025-01-20T22:26:20+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspmr3hnteppx78j7e4lsf8mpvywv7unvtnpltz3njugevp77wy7eqzyr0ga8h5ygcyqad7czmwg3cvktln00epefw8mgmvh0jpw6e5zzsgv3nl3ys In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd3augay0hj70ckvyn9lmmj36h28a3mwzc9qmfu39sea59vq6hycsw93gga'>nevent1q…3gga</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I feel your frustration at the inequality everywhere. I don’t know exactly how involved Brian Acton is in the Signal app now. My understanding is that his involvement is very little beyond the initial $50million grant several years ago. [@Mer__edith](<a href="https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith">https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith</a> ) has been the face of the organisation for some time now. She has a badass record for going after big tech and doing things ethically. <br/><br/>I hope that however you decide to communicate with people, you feel good about what you choose. 2025-01-20T17:29:22+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst3am9zw94jz5entsxxyp0fn4d7ktjzjkk3j2lwp90svxdn4myrfqzyr0ga8h5ygcyqad7czmwg3cvktln00epefw8mgmvh0jpw6e5zzsgvqs75h7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr5efghcwvpz36t8va0ynwpa9eq4w4k2ae76lh35yw68vnwgnwsss983wq8'>nevent1q…3wq8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I recently set my WhatsApp photo to a text saying “read bio”, set my WhatsApp status to say I’ve deleted the app, why I’ve deleted it, and that people can contact me on Signal. I also posted a WhatsApp story saying I’d left. I’ve had 3 people join as a result. <br/><br/>If you have social influence in your friendship groups, creating a Signal group for a regular catch-up or a group with a shared interest or a friendship/family group worked well for me too. 2025-01-20T15:48:01+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx599zet4hfr3tqzm972ce99xn6d9uehfjwahxs7e8fqpz6xpkkcczyr0ga8h5ygcyqad7czmwg3cvktln00epefw8mgmvh0jpw6e5zzsgv05hpav In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszj3qgk87pjly90m3wnszhd8ewg5yqxyk42uvth832xqqvl0sa2ugtf0awe'>nevent1q…0awe</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Totally see why you’d be skeptical of Acton, and while I don’t know him personally, I find his story convincing. Acton is the creator of WhatsApp. He founded Signal because he felt guilty over selling WhatsApp to Facebook and then seeing it invade privacy. He is publicly anti-Meta. <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/12/signal-brian-acton-talks-about-exploding-growth-monetization-and-whatsapp-data-sharing-outrage/">https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/12/signal-brian-acton-talks-about-exploding-growth-monetization-and-whatsapp-data-sharing-outrage/</a><br/><br/>I am satisfied that the not-for-profit status, the open-source code, and the 3rd party security audits make Signal a safe and ethical choice for communication. 2025-01-20T15:45:23+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz3zx7awj9attgz9wf8u33zqvfdch4kxd9jyruy4j04xsp4zflurszyr0ga8h5ygcyqad7czmwg3cvktln00epefw8mgmvh0jpw6e5zzsgvaymxv0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfh7hna62ercu7zrdsfadypwzxhv4yr99al765wdw5hvtmkmda2esk652k4'>nevent1q…52k4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>oof, that speed!

Also the side panel is collapsible so it’s not necessarily always open.
