Interesting article about SimpleX chat's security design/considerations - monero.town (monero.town)

I was kind of blown away to what length the developers go to ensure your communication is as safe/secure as possible (while still delivering a very useable app).

Unfortunately most of these systems still expose the very private fact that you and so-and-so are talking to each other at all. Concealing the content is almost immaterial.

Who are you and your so-and-so in Simplex's case? It doesn't have identifiers and maintains separate connections to server for each identity (can be changed in the settings to go even further and maintain separate connection for each chat)
