Hey thanks for this suggestion, you motivated me to look into simplex a bit more than just lazily downloading it on my phone

[-] constantokra@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Nice. It's pretty great. I particularly like the multiple identities. I have one on my phone that only connects to all of my devices, and I can send notifications/code snippets/whatever I need between them. With the CLI app, you can even set it up to pipe messages directly to your notifications daemon, or automatically accept files.

That's a great usage, I'll definitely try that! Plus it's seems actually usable by average Joes for quickly starting a private chat. Hopefully they'll start packaging the CLI version for linux distros (idk why but I prefer downloading a package to using an install script), also I saw that simplex will release a desktop version of the app

[-] constantokra@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I think you can already get the desktop GUI version. If I remember correctly, the installer script just downloads the appropriate binary to an appropriate path. The only irritation is that they don't have arm binaries, and it's rather difficult to compile. I've not managed to do it. Hopefully they'll just release arm binaries soon.

Oh you're right, I looked again and found the releases page on github, they have windows, macos (also aarch64), ubuntu, and Appimage for everybody else (x86 tho yeah)
