Agreed. I type half my texts in Firefox these days using the Google messages web frontend. Supports RCS too!

The one downside is, after i've typed 15 texts, the other person is still punching in their first on a touchscreen.

This is probably just a matter of other people not drinking enough coffee, however.

If only google can buy some "search" technology for using in this app..

Beeper does this as well, including many more things like signal and whatsapp

I use this daily.

Works even better as a "install to home screen" app on my Mac.
