I hate to link into MS Github but that’s where the Kalium project exists. It’s intended for API testing, but among proficient users it should possibly be the primary way to use the #Wire network because:

  • WireApp (on Android) is a forced obsolescence shit show
  • WireApp (desktop) has been a shit show from day one (based on Electron/Chromium) plus a fuckup just caused it to block logins for Linux users.

So Kalium seems to be a lesser of evils. But I must say it was a shit show too when I tried to get it running a year or so ago.

Has anyone successfully gotten #Kalium to run?
