    Phone messaging

    Testing from my phone. Reading messages is interesting, as the formatting is in the form of tall, narrow columns of text, but that's still quite readable.

    And the Telegram interface is quite functional, which I already knew, as I've been using telegram for years.

    Does the app allow you to rotate and operate in landscape?

    Looing forward to further comments as you interact with it.

    Yes, landscape orientation works fine as well, and the messages are very readable in landscape, but typing seems clumsier, which is probably just me. :)

    Anyway, this definitely has potential.

    Seems to work pretty well, really. :)


    ... Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that.
