I mean with the stupid names, could you not?! carving out interest in this crowded space is a challenge onto itself, you don't hafta shoot yourself in the foot from the get-go!

that aside, anyone got experience with the thing?

Yeah that's nice, but that premise & use-case is already delivered,
Session does all of that, just in their own "tor-like" network;

Also session is a fork of signal without the need of a phone number, you get an "Account IDs" instantly.

Cwtch is doing the same on the Tor network itself, which is great, if tor's speed / performance is dealt with...

So, what does Cwtch do extra?? Also does it (Smoothly) support obfs4 bridges for firewalled users?

Also, website lacks some technical details, like being a rewrite (& extention of) of Ricochet as stated in their repo & Security Handbook unlike their website's homepage saying "The Cwtch protocol"...
But the Docs seems nice & the whole app would be a good option next to session, just wha else it offers?
