Looking for some basic feedback on native signal app
You should join forces with https://gitlab.com/whisperfish/whisperfish/ , they're already much further but currently Sailfish only. It's Rust+QML, too.

GTK and custom themes - what really happened
I suggest to take a look at the architecture of Whisperfish. It uses the qmetaobject crate to write models backing a QML GUI and has some interesting code for getting Tokio and Qt's event loop to work together.

Any news on using the Signal app on the PinePhone?
There's also work being done to bring Whisperfish (a Sailfish OS signal client) over to other distributions, but I don't know what the current state of that effort is.

Ask HN: Recommendations for ‘minimalist’ (e.g. not too ‘smart’) phones?
I have an old Nokia N900 phone that runs a custom alpine linux-based rom (postmarketOS). Given the limited hardware resources, small screen size, and sliding keyboard, you'll be mostly running terminal applications on this phone (some GUI apps works but the experience is mixed). There are some unofficial terminal clients for Signal [0], and iirc hacker news works with the lynx terminal browser. The N900 might work for this scenario as a feature-minimal phone, but depends on your use cases.

Signal draining battery after Android 4 upgrade
I switched to gurk-rs on my devices and it's amazing, uses zero CPU and have zero impact on battery life. Can be used on desktop, mobile, can be accessed via SSH and tmux.

What's everyone working on this week (27/2021)?
I want to finish the store encryption implementation in my CLI Signal messenger: https://github.com/boxdot/gurk-rs The initial implementation is already there, but I could not get back to it for several weeks already. First step: switch to sled, second step: plug encryption in between.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing whisperfish and gurk-rs you can also consider the following projects:
