Waste of time. You can't turn a platform into a protocol. The control is still there.

Is it really a platform when I can run my own SimpleX instance for my family quite fine without ever touching their advertised servers? But yes, if we could see some of the better design choices in SimpleX that protect metadata on top of a protocol like Nostr and some incentive model to easily plugin severs/encrypted media relays on i2p that would be an instant win of 1M of people interested in the privacy space.

You'd have to start by rewriting it from Haskell into a language that more than three people on the planet can actually read — besides the SimpleX Chat devs and Tim Sweeney 😅
