Would it be possible to port this app?

Maybe it's easier to port Whisperfish? That's the native Signal app for Sailfish.
There's already axolotl for UT that is a native Signal app.

I know. Have you tried it? It's lacking a lot of features, some of which I consider to be showstoppers (messages not arriving... kind of important). As I said above: I know the small crew is struggling with keeping up with the many changes that Signal makes. They're certainly doing their best, but the current state of Axolotl can't really be considered usable.

Sure. Doing the same thing in a different repo in a different language won't make anything better though, especially if it's another single random dev trying to keep up with a corporate entity's product. I don't think Whisperfish is any better off here either, really.
If @developerbayman wants to help with a Signal app, it would probably be best to help with Axolotl, rather than trying to start from scratch and go their own way.

That's a great idea, and I would certainly cheer him on.

@Moem Maybe a good candidate for crowd funding?.
We will need RCS capable app too one day -

Sure !
But that should be messaging app, because RCS is successor of SMS and MMS. -

Maybe? I donΒ΄t know about such things. I do know that a well working native Signal app is sorely missed.

Sorry, I don't know what that is.

That's next level for MMS.

Would a UT Beeper version not be an option. Though I can't find how their mobile apps are made nor licenced...
-
@Beta-Break If that could be made possible, it would solve so many problems!
-
@Moem they have a AppImage desktop app... Don't know if that is helpful for us to use..

I would guess it might be a modified build of Element or something. Beeper is just a hosted Matrix service, running lots of bridges. You can self-host it too I guess, and use any Matrix client that supports the features you need.
It however, is not Signal, and will not provide the same experience as using Signal.
