Mercury Chat database is centralized at the moment. The team will look for solutions in the future
The team is very open to ideas and take community feedback. Needs to be seen if feedback is implemented.
The UX/UI is slightly rough (small typos & ease of use) since the team is focusing on building functionality at the moment
The team has kept the rodamap and timeline open for the time being
Personally I'd recommend the app for individuals and platforms as long as personal/sensitive information is not shared
