#2Just as https://status.signal.org/ says, I have a popover text in Signal on the phone that says "Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible."

I'm also glad they seem to be working on UUID-based chats without requiring phone numbers, which I think is cool.
