Message transmitted - indicator

[mr-gosh]

For messages and shares we should have an indicator similar to the signal-android-app.
There are two checks, the first indicating successful transmission to the server (also helpful for offline support) and the second for successfully transmission to target device (indicating that at least one device has received the message or share).

These messages should have a random delay from 0-3 seconds to complicate de-anonymisation of cummunication correlance.

Same for the desktop...

It is not possible to recognize that someone fetched the drop messages from that drop url. The "successful transmission" indicator won't be possible.

I do not concur with random delay because that doesn't help with de-anonymisation and is annoying for users.

what about an optional feature (let people know you recieved a message) by repliying to a message with a "message recieved" message?

[audax]

That would be possible but would also tell the receiver how many devices the sender has connected, just because every device would send that "message received"-message. With immediate syncing of the received-status and some deconflicting we could prevent this.

This feature is more complex than it might seem.

Luckily the title is about message transmitted indicator which is useful and not complex. I state this issue should be just about that. A message received indicator would be another whole epic.
