I hate complexity. A few years ago, I wanted to add some feature to some personal code of mine. But I just couldn't figure out how to do that without rewriting a significant portion of it to allow for that. There was another feature (let's call it feature 2) that just added so much complexity to the code that made things hard. I had an absolute stroke of genius: Just delete feature 2. This probably sounds stupid but I felt like a goddamn genius. Just deleting something solved all my problems.

I think signal is really only missing usernames (which should come soon) as far as features are concerned. And sadly, I don't think it will change much. I think signals problem is not really feature wise but adoption wise.
Signal needs more marketing. It needs a bigger user base. And I honestly don't know how to change that. Maybe some really top notch marketing strategy, with beautiful diagrams and text of some made up scenarios explaining the perils of using Instagram and whatsapp..
