Consider rewriting the Google Playstore description #4336

Your use case

The Google Playstore description has gotten really long. This lead for example to the problem that it is no longer possible to fully translate it to German as we reached the character limit for Weblate.

Further, there is a lot of unnecessary duplicate information that could be removed (in my opinion) For example, self hosting is mentioned twice, e2ee three times, there are 2 headings about security/privacy etc.

So I think it would be the best idea to consider rewriting the text or at least shortening it.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Another option would be to increase Weblate's character limit if thats possible. But this would lead to an even longer description.

The description is here.

I will ask if we want to update the description internally.

I've changed some settings in weblate for the store project in particular to avoid overzealous limits in the meantime

Also, new screenshots, please. I suggest to make them with a Message Bubble Layout, for simplicity for new users who are used to this kind of layout from WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal,...
