I really wish we had a proper acknowledged open standard for messaging like we have for e-mail. Then any client app can be developed, but we can all interconnect and communicate from anywhere. Yes we have XMPP but it never seems to have taken off as a standard for everyone.

And a key difference I did not appreciate at the time (as I was just looking at pinging sites for uptime), is that Healthchecks.io can also be used to monitor sites that go down where they have no publicly accessible website to ping, because it acts as a dead man’s switch if not reporting in.

Yep give me a bigger, AND replaceable, battery rather…

It can only be way better surely?

The post here is a link to an online survey being done by the Signal Community. Users need to follow the link to answer the survey if they wish (but it means creating yet another new account which I’m getting pretty tired of as I’m now passing over 900 different logins all with unique passwords etc ;-)
