Signal to roll out Snapchat-like “stories” feature

A lot of people will mock this as an out-of-place "me too" feature, but I actually think it's great.

Pitching Signal to people as an alternative to iMessage/WhatsApp/whatever is really hard. But if people actually use the stories feature to share real things from their lives, it can become an alternative to a whole other category of privacy-harming apps.

Having stories in messaging apps feels wrong to me for some reason, although I can see the appeal of it. It must be exhausting for people who use stories on different platforms, like WhatsApp + Instagram + Snapchat.

At some point we'll need a service that just does that for you (if it doesn't exist already)
