These bullet points make me think of Signal as a utility; something designed to provide & facilitate, infrastructure that supports.

I wish we could see more of this! There's something so elegant about sustainable software, software not designed to grow & expand but to scale efficiently & effectively.

I wish English[1] had a word to describe the enjoyment felt from using a well-designed tool like this. "Ergonomic" comes close, but I think it's a little too utilitarian - it doesn't quite capture the "this is nice" feeling for me.

[1]: Or other languages, but I only know English. Please let me know if other languages have such a word.

Beauty is what I would use. Maybe craftsmanship.

Any centralised platform makes me uncomfortable to use it.

I like Signal, but it's main weakness is centralisation.
