  Forcing big tech to act like big dumb pipes is a fantastic idea that deserves to catch on. For accounts I care about though I just wish it was more discreet with QR codes blended into pics and plausible deniability baked in i.e. used legible 1337speak w0rd5.

  It's a surprisingly fluid copy+paste process even with a mobile cursor inside a buggy p2p collaborative text editor [1]. I encourage others to real world test the mobile flow over a completely insecure connection.

  It can also encrypt files before you send them. The output message is formatted to go unnoticed as regular text: no long words, no special characters, spaces don't matter. It works with unicode and any language

  Nice and simple

  It does if it can be MITMed
