Curious how this can work for recording podcasts.

This is what I would expect. Though Clubhouse is a novel idea, it's relatively easy for a plethora of social networks to implement something similar and immediately have the network effect of their already immense userbase. On Instagram/Youtube/Facebook people can already go live with video. I think we will very quickly see similar audio-rooms on these platforms.

More and more I appreciate Signal for what it is. A no nonsense (okay, stickers) messaging tool for people that know each other in real life. I hope it never changes into something "social".

Yeah, but I can't get my family to switch if the UX is subpar.

This looks bloody neat - Clubhouse seemed annoying and exclusive, whereas Telegram feels a lot more inclusive.

I and a ton of friends use Telegram purely for messaging, none of this gets in the way.

How long ago did you use signal? The UX is on par with WhatsApp. In fact I've found tiny things that signal does better (it groups sending multiple pictures into on "album" message instead of sending one message per picture like WhatsApp)

The only place I could agree WhatsApp has a significantly better UX is with backing up messages.

Element seems to implement it as well: https://matrix.org/open-tech-will-save-us/11

Recorded chats

Before opening the link, I thought it would be a replay of chats - simulated live chat.

Instead of being overwhelmed with 100s of past chats, chats come in one at a time. (Speed up, pause, play)
