End-to-end encrypted messages need more than libsignal
How is twitter intending to use libsignal? I doubt it would be via the primary AGPL license[1], forcing them to publish the source code of their server source code. Does signal sell private licenses?

software developers willing to develop a signal app
If anyone is interested, comment or drop me a PM. I am not the most experienced programmer, but I have about a year's worth of experience each in Java, which the Signal android app and the Punkt app are built in, and Rust, which the libsignal library (https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal) is built in.

End to end encryption messaging implementation
Obviously this glosses over a lot of details (e.g. replay protection) that needs to be properly implemented, otherwise it will not be secure, I recommend checking out Signal's docs and to use libsignal instead of implementing your own.

Valid Signal privacy issues shrugged off while patches quietly rolled out
> The "safety number" also encodes both participants' phone numbers
Um, not that I know of. A quick check, though, the QR code is a bunch of binary data, so I dove into the source code: https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal-client/blob/4446b648f...
> very amused that the author censored part of the QR code, but not the human readable text below it containing the exact same data
So what is it now, does it contain the phone numbers or not? Since any phone numbers are censored, only the safety number is not. But the QR code doesn't contain the phone number, as you just saw in the source code (assuming I correctly identified the relevant part, I just looked for uses of qr codes, found getScannableFingerprint and followed the trail through libsignal from there).
It's also, strictly speaking, not the same as the text below: the safety number below doesn't appear to include a version number (same file, lines 14-16).

starting a native adaptive Linux client for Signal
Fortunately, the Signal developers are now using a new Rust library with bindings to C, Java, Swift, and TypeScript for their own clients. Currently this is undocumented and does not yet implement all the logic necessary to write a complete client. However, upstream has advised that using this new library would be the best option for starting a new client.
I have communicated with the Signal developers a bit and they were supportive of the idea of a native Linux client. They were also supportive in their recent AMA. I don't think they're opposed to a native Linux client. It's just not enough of a priority for them to invest resources into it.
