White Noise is now my most-used app, and in practice it has become the app that builds apps. I dictate a bug to Hermes in the same chat, the APK comes back there, I install it on my phone, and I keep testing until the behavior changes, which is why the upcoming release has me genuinely excited.

I've been using the upcoming new @White Noise app more than signal for the last couple weeks. Not just testing stuff, actual real use cases. The hermes connector is amazing, it makes the app so useful. Can't wait to get this over the finish line and share with y'all. Sorry again that it's been forever since the last whitenoise release, but we really want to get it right this time. The main issue still is group reliability, we've made massive progress, but we can still make it better, and it's better to do these consensus changes before we release. We're spending most time now to make sure group convergence is solid, and we keep adding cool UX and features to the app until the underlying spec and library work matures. This means when we release, the apps will not only be reliable in sending messages to large groups, but also that it'll have more features than most messenger apps. It'll be a massive release. Give us two more weeks ™️ and you'll see.

The many-eyes promise of free software finally has the staff it always needed. View article →

Free software lets rival manufacturers test and ship improvements to the same security-critical foundations, turning competition into an additional review system. Coldcard benefited from that freedom, restricted it when a competitor did the same, then introduced a catastrophic seed-generation defect while replacing the shared GPL code it wanted gone, years before anyone noticed.
