Can I ask you a question. I've been very interested in private messaging for a while, as much out of curiosity as anything else and your write up poses some questions for me.
Two or the most interesting approaches to anonymity I've seen are Retroshare and Onionshare, which can both be used as messengers.
I realise both have their development issues, but looking at the principle, why didn't you initially go this route, baking Onion Routing in from the start?
lol you posting this cause monero town is talking about retroshare? I'm not familar with onionshare, but its like Briar right? If it's peer to peer, both parties have to be online at the same time. (like Briar)
I am not the dev behind SimpleX or Session. Session has onion routing built in. SimpleX can do Tor optionally. Onion routing is good, not just for privacy but also censorship, we also just got a new Tor Onion on a new VPS btw:

That's interesting.
I have to admit, I'm not cool enough to know what #monero town is. I heard about #Retroshare on a Matrix group call privacy some time ago.
They also mentioned #MuWire which has since lost it's original developer, but used the garlic routing #i2p network instead of #TOR.
I know technically what Monero is - a #blockchain that uses ring signatures - but I'm not cool enough to be part of the scene :(
