Yeah, and electron already has a
secureStorageAPI that handles the OS interop for you. Which signal isn't using, and a PR already exists to enable...I'm not surprised... I think people ('the ones that care at least') would be horrified to know how much of this stuff slips through, because it's hard (there are so many other things that are pulling at developers that something falls through the cracks). Most of the time the right answer is to bring it up. Then thank them when they resolve the issue (with beer and pizza money at the very least).
Looks like it's waiting for approval, https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/pull/6933 for anyone else thats interested.
