What is a privacy friendly application that you'd love to have, but no one has developed yet? (lemmy.ml)

Some of the hurtles I've encountered using privacy focused chat apps with friends and family is the lack of smooth group chats and adding people remotely.

Some apps have a QR code feature but also allow you to enter a code. It can be a challenge to setup with older family members.

boomers will always complain and cry.

in their minds, they should be able to buy a device and when they open it up, it should already come pre-installed with their granddaughter's name and contact ready to go through a mind reading technology that knows that knows who bought the device and knows who exactly they want to talk to and when.

Star Trek on steroids or something idk.
