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.
- The status of Signal-Desktop-5.0.0 running on Pinephone made progress.
-
starting a native adaptive Linux client for Signal
Exactly. The question here is whether we play or not. I'vre written my thoughts about this on our FAQ, with some references.

Hosting Signal frontend on a local server (Like Signal desktop but through website)
OWS has historically been hostile to third party implementations outside of their clients. There are multiple unofficial options but the only one I've been looking at is the bridge with matrix, though setting up a matrix server just for this is likely overkill.
- Peer-to-Peer Encrypted Messaging

Beeper >> Signal
However, looking at the Matrix docs for the mautrix-signal bridge, it seems to be open-source and end-to-end encrypted. You'll have to look through the source code to figure out how they did that, I guess, because I couldn't find any details.

Let’s chat about RCS
Once you have the home server set up and configured (not covered here because it's a process), clone the bridge repo (for instance mautrix-signal and follow the instructions.
