The reviews

No official API for building on top of Signal. The protocol is brilliant but the platform is intentionally closed.

Helpful?

The best encrypted messaging app. Zero compromise on privacy. But it's a user tool, not a developer platform.

Helpful?

The Signal Protocol is the most important encryption innovation of the decade. Every major messenger uses it.
