Worth mentioning, as someone has for Kakao below, the LINE app has a magnitude or two or three more features than Signal. Beyond chat, the app handles payments including retail via QR, effectively has Instagram and TikTok built in, has an entire news section, and much more.
Heck, LINE the company even has permanent and pop-up merchandise stores in downtown Tokyo (Harajuku) and their own MVNO mobile carrier called LINE Mobile.
Now that said, I loathe LINE, the app. The UX is poor and the app is bloated behind belief. Only use it effectively out of necessity as someone living in Japan. The only alternative communications channel even remotely close in usage is probably Instagram chat.
I think it's usable for free though I'm not sure to what degree since I picked up a one time payment lifetime plus subscription some years ago. I see it's sadly now only free or monthly subscription. ๐
Have always been curious about AntennaPod. Was about to switch from PocketCasts earlier this year but turns out PocketCasts became open source a little over a year ago, October 2022.

Still curious about AntennaPod but PocketCasts has been and continues to work super well and has a web/desktop (PWA) client so may just stick with it. Mobile app repos below btw.

Was about to say as someone who's been using Ruby for over a decade, 8 of which professionally, I've never once come across a for loop. each on the other hand, all day every day.
It is indeed a PWA and really solid one at that. Replying from it now. Speaking of which, they're working on pushing native builds to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store right now. The speed of development has been absurd, super quick.
This was on Android Chrome but it seems have been resolved. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Also checked Android Firefox. All good there as well.
For some reason with the updated logo it seems the PWA's icon is now missing. ๐ค (Chrome Android)
I played a substantial amount of Zelda TotK without the paraglider which made quite a few adventures a lot more treacherous, some borderline impossible, and some actually impossible. ๐

For a second I thought maybe due to their historical colonial ties to the UK but that logic falls apart when you realize AU and NZ are in a separate region from the UK... so... ๐คทโโ๏ธ
