transfering messages from desktop to mobile.
You can use SigTop to create a backup of all message history from Signal Desktop though. There is no way to restore the messages to your android phone though.

Is there some way to create an archive of all my messages that I can view outside of Signal?
Yes. You can make a backup on android. You can probably also do so on MacOS though without having to buy an android phone. Check out SigTop. I am checking if this works for myself right now

This is how to backup/export an entire chat transcript,pics,vids,etc. from Signal, archive it outside of signal & be able to review it later on without signal needed,etc.
I wrote sigbak and sigtop to export Signal messages. I believe they are reasonably straightforward to use, and have sufficient documentation. And I, too, welcome suggestions for improvements.

Ideas on how to save/organize memories of conversations with loved ones?

super choppy video streams
There was a issue opened on GitHub a while back apparently but that was closed due to inactivity. What you might want to do is either open a new issue directly in GitHub (provide as much information as possible and include debug logs) or just send them a support ticket via the support form (and include debug logs).
- Signal Desktop for Windows takes 30+ min to send messages. Phone app still works.

Actively being worked on, and hopefully some good learnings. Issue link thread: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6439
