end to end without self hosted open source servers have (among others) a tradeoff: either opaque server you can't trust at all, or no offline messages. Which one you decided on?

I was thinking of making the client code open source (eventually) so that users can know that their privacy is respected

So you choose opaque server. At least do not hide the offline validation as deep as whatsapp and others do.

also work with linux/android distros do distribute the built from source client. otherwise, it's just more of the same
