Sparrow releases are consistently impressive. That dude ships good and fast 🚀
How does it compare to Electrum? I am happy with it but I don't know if I may be missing out on some stuff by not using Sparrow

Sparrow provides other great services such as coinjoin. You can connect to your own Electrum Server as well so you can have the best of both worlds. Highly recommended.

Uuuuh, coinjoin! I was looking into using JoinMarket but most likely Sparrow is better UX.
Thanks, will try out!

Electrum is good and a pioneer, but Sparrow really feels like Electrum on steroids. Some of the things that come to my mind:
- really nice transaction visualisation, allowing you to really understand what you're doing, do proper coin control, etc. You can do this with Electrum, but I just like it better the way its done on Sparrow ;
- doesn't connect you to a random Electrum server on the firsts start ;
- has coinjoin capabilities ;
- lots of work on interoperability (e.g. making it easy to import/export wallets, as this new release also shows).
I am not saying you should ditch Electrum (I still use it sometimes), but you should definitely give Sparrow a try :)
