Why doesn't Signal adopt Dennis Ameling's WOA build approach?
For years now Dennis Ameling has been producing Windows on ARM (WOA) builds for Signal. Do we know why Signal doesn't do this work for him? If one motivated developer can pull this off, it seems like the Signal team should be able to as well. It'd be nice to download an ARM build from the signal.org site directly.

Is there a way for me to use the Signal messaging app on a Chromebook?
Signal supports Linux x86 but not ARM (at this point). There is a Signal ARM version being developed and tested via GitHub - I guess it's experimental. I use it on my HP x2 11 and it's been fine for the most part. It's not super up-to-date like the main linux version is but it's still working.

Signal won't support M1 Macs anytime soon, tell contributors to fuck-off
The community already done that: https://github.com/dennisameling/signal-desktop (working on Windows & Apple ARM). Still, I think it's a shame that all the work was done, ready to be merged (needed PRs were open) and Signal devs just shut the door on it.
