I just had some fun re-logging in and verifying into element-android (well, schildichat) and wrote down some problems with the verification flow here: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/16252

If you know which interactions lead to the happy path it's working great and verifying takes only 5s. If you manage to deviate only a tiny bit from that path it gets *really* confusing. 😱😱😱

And actually element-web leads you down that confusing path right from the beginning.

Hope that can be ironed out! :)

#Tusky development currently focuses on quality improvements rather than new features. The whole app is slowly rewritten with modern architecture.
Recently I polished the draft feature, instead of ancient Java it is now in actually maintainable Kotlin https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/pull/2032

Good to see: Mullvad had Cure53 audit the security of their infrastructure.

“The security awareness and overall security posture should be regarded as rather good, as expected Cure53 were not able to discover any Personally-Identifiable-Information attached to Mullvad's end-users.”
