Wire is “the simple app that lets you communicate with text, voice, pictures, music and video — on phone, tablet and desktop”
How to install
snap install wire --candidate
Requested Setups
I don’t know many people on wire, so if you use wire, please add me - you can probably guess my username (or look at the screenshot above) We can then test text chat, voice and video (if you’re okay with that).
As this is a strictly confined app, it should work just fine on any distro. I have only tried it on Ubuntu 16.04 so would love to know where else it works.
Hey, didn’t want to leave you hanging. I’ve begun downloading it and will send you a request via the app. At some point, I did have a wire acct but I quit using it for some reason (probably because of Telegram…).
EDIT:
Snap is working well, sent you a connection request.
@popey I know you’re working at updating it with some new stuff. As for the current (as of 4 Oct), the app was freezing and then, my entire session would freeze and I had to force a reboot. Anyhow, just reporting what I find.
We removed wire from the store because it wasn’t of sufficient quality. We’ll put it back once the snap has feature parity with non-snap variants. The snapcraft config is in the snapcrafters wire repo if anyone fancies taking a look.
We can then test text chat, voice and video (if you’re okay with that).
