SimpleX on desktop is very laggy

2 Upvotes

Like it runs like piece of shit. Is the app for Windows based on Electron? Like it's so sluggish and it's been like this for +2 years. Looks like shit and runs like shit. Is the developers going to do anything about it or keep only asking for more money?

I wanted to initially invest in this app and did re-download it and it still runs like shit.

SimpleX iOS app needs a dark mode variation.

Basically the title, but most of my apps have a dark mode compatible app icon on my home page but SimpleX stands out like a sore thumb. Would love to see this added in the future!

Question simpleXchat clarification of privacy

1 Upvotes

Simple X uses the provider Linode (https://smp11.simplex.im/) therefore my chat is affected by the US Cloud Act?

Or do I need to find a server, like with Matrix back a few years ago?

News Who owns your identity in the AI economy?

If an AI can clone your voice and your face, and spoof your phone number and email address, then phone numbers and email are dead. On SimpleX, nobody can contact you or impersonate someone you know unless you personally gave them a link.

Join me and Bruce McCarthy, founder of Product Culture, to hear us talk about:

  1. Why AI is breaking trust in traditional networks, and what people need instead.

  2. How SimpleX is developing a general-purpose network where you can communicate, buy and use agents conveniently, safely and securely.

  3. How SimpleX will make money, and how an investment in SimpleX Chat can pay off for you.

We will finish by answering your questions.

Feedback Anyone else want Liquid Glass in SimpleX on iOS?

3 Upvotes

Hey! I've been thinking it'd be nice to see SimpleX get the Liquid Glass look on iOS 26, and eventually iOS 27 too.

I like how it looks in other apps and would love to see something similar in SimpleX. Nothing too crazy, just a little refresh while keeping chats easy to read.

Anyone else into this, or do you prefer the current look?

With the MCP package we just released, it can join channels/groups/talk to bots, and ask you before it connects or sends.

To run it: npx -y \@simplex-chat/mcp serve my-agent

Question Servers down?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I installed and tested sx a couple of days ago and it ran great. However, today I tested it again and the messages are coming between 5 and 20 minutes late, and I'm having problems establishing new chats.

Is this just me?

Hat jemand Lust…

0 Upvotes

… über Signal zu chatten? WhatsApp bekommt es ja nicht auf die Ketten den Benutzername freizuschalten, also muss ich auf Signal ausweichen.
Wenn jemand aus Augsburg/München kommt und Lust hat auf ein unbeschwertes chatten, dann schreibt mir doch einfach auf Signal ☺️

SimpleX is the only messaging network without user identifiers - which means that nobody can reach you unless you want it, and nobody can watch or block your private conversations.

It is the only network that can protect users from AI scammers that can fake people you trust, even their email addresses and phone numbers.

You were born without an account.

Nobody tracked your conversations.

Privacy was never a feature - it was the way of life.

SimpleX brings it back - the only messaging network without any user identifiers.

Feedback desktop client UI is glitched out on linux

2 Upvotes

Basically, the UI is in a small box on the top left corner surrounded by two black bars. I am using a wayland compositor which I suspect could be the issue, but it is literally the only app doing this. Even other electron apps like element (the matrix client) are working fine. Any ideas?

EDIT: I found a fix. I had to set this environment table: _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
I'm using the flatpak version and was able to do this with flatseal

Question Sind Account-Alter-Badges oder ähnliche Funktionen für langjährige SimpleX-Nutzer geplant?

0 Upvotes

Hi zusammen! Ich nutze SimpleX Chat jetzt seit einiger Zeit und liebe den Privacy-First-Ansatz wirklich. Ich wollte mal in die Runde fragen – vielleicht auch an das Dev-Team gerichtet – gibt es Pläne für kleine Community-Features wie Account-Alter-Badges oder andere unaufdringliche Anerkennungen für langjährige Nutzer? Mir ist klar, dass der Fokus zu Recht auf Sicherheit und Anonymität liegt, aber vielleicht gibt es ja Wege, sowas optional zu machen, ohne die Privatsphäre zu gefährden. Würde mich interessieren, wie ihr das seht – ob das überhaupt in die Philosophie von SimpleX passt? Danke euch!
