Why those coders haveto do a new app instead of doing work on briar?

Why not work on session instead?

Session is just a rip of Signal (minus privacy features), funded by a cryptocurrency that’s a rip of Monero. I wouldn’t touch their stuff.

Maybe they don’t want too. Maybe they don’t like the app. Maybe they don’t like the devs.

Why ever make something new?

I tried Briar the other week. It seems to be missing some major features like backups of your account and the ability to verify a peer after you added them if you didn’t understand that you were supposed to copy codes in both directions.

Forums on it are also… A thing. After a couple dozen posts, it becomes rather untenable
