I've been testing #Jami again after a number of software updates. Text chat performance has improved markedly. It's delivering each message quickly, and in order. Users can now send both voice messages and video messages, which is great for doing voice/ video chat on patchy network connection. Now I'm excited for the group text chat feature to ship!

#HatTip to @AmarOk and the rest of the @Jami team for all the great work they're doing :)

I spoke too soon ;) I continued testing Jami and hit a number of problems with text messages delivery, even though the other user shows up as online, and with video message delivery. Something to do with the connection between the UI and the network daemon perhaps? Voice message was worked pretty reliably, but now it's giving me an error "unjoinable peer".

I suspect it would be help tremendously to have a paid designer or two to work on the #UX and coordinate formal testing. That way, the engineers could focus their time and energy on improving the performance of the back-end, and adding features.
What do you think @AmarOk ?

@AmarOk
Are you saying you can afford to employ a UX designer with your current budget?
