The status of Signal-Desktop-5.0.0 running on Pinephone made progress.
Sailfish applications use Qt's QML declarative language for their GUI. Sailfish has a proprietary QML library in addition to the QML elements included in Qt (Qt Quick). What we need to do is decouple Whisperfish's QML from the Sailfish QML library (which is called Silica). Fortunately PureMaps has already done the same thing and made a QML library that abstracts over the QML libraries of Sailfish, KDE (Kirigami), and Ubuntu Touch.

Signal discussed at May Contain Hackers 2022 Conference
There are good reasons to exert a level of control over what connects to a communication network. But effectively shutting out a community of developers that would love to implement Signal clients for less popular OSes (many of which happen to attract the kind of infosec-aware crowd that used to be the core pushers of Signal) is not a good outcome.
