This is a messaging app we're talking about here. There's nothing outrageously difficult or complex that hasn't already been done 25 years ago. If 36 people and $100 million in funding is not enough to make a messaging app that doesn't suck, what _is_ required and why is it more than that?

If you think it's so easy, be your own change and do it, and then we can judge the results.

You're assuming there's a solution of a certain form to get you what you want, but maybe it's your assumption that's wrong.

I mean, there are formally verified systems that might be like what you're asking, but they're both 1) very expensive, 2) extremely feature poor.

I'm busy, but tell you what, I'll do it for only $75 million. Maybe I should launch a Kickstarter.
