Over those we have some advantages, but I'll be honest with you, there's still a lot of work to be done... (multi device for example is gonna be a huge add), and for now they have some advantages over whitenoise (mostly that they're more mature)
Better than telegram:
- Nothing is hidden, the entire code end to end is opensource
- No central servers, we cannot be compelled by law to release information, because we literally do not have it
Better than bitchat:
- We have MLS, which provides forwards and backwards secrecy
Better than simplex:
- We're not associated with a shitcoin (flux)
- We are nostr native
But most important of all, we are an open protocol, one that gets improved over time, and one that anyone can contribute to, and implement if they have the technical ability,
