#3This was a painful episode, but on the bright side, the team is sure to have learned a lot. Hopefully they won't have bled too many users. Looking forward to a more stable Signal in the future!

#4Congrats to the team. I am sure it must have been a stressful one.
Some remaining issues:
The desktop app on first message in any conversation says: "Partially sent, click for details". When retried, the message goes through, but is not synced with the mobile client (never appears there).
PS: Happy Signal exists. It's easy to let inconvenience make you forget it sometimes.

Move from the cloud to k8s hosted on their own metal. The Signal server is simplistic (a compliment), it’s the bandwidth that you’re going to get raked over the coals for at cloud providers. Burst to the cloud for outlier events.

#7We rarely get to see an app have to grow suddenly like that. And with Signal being open source, it must be very educational to follow.
Has anyone found a publication around what they had to do on the technical side (code)?
Edit: Their server's repo hasn't been updated since April 2020. Why?

#8If you're still having delivery issues in any of your private conversations try "reset secure session" from the chat menu. It worked for me with a couple of my contacts.

How about a federated solution? I'd be happy to run my own conversations on my own server.
