        Hello Everyone, Im Aaron.

        I used to do app development for UT during covid and helped to make apps like Gem or WaydroidHelper. Ive recently been tinkering with UT again and am interested into doing some stuff again.

        I was mainly wondering whether there have been any attempts to bring signal-CLI to UT as I think it would be a great addition to the ecosystem. SailfishOS has set the example with WhisperFish. Since Axolotl is no more and Signal has no WebUI there is currently no good way to use it on UT apart from Waydoid which comes with its own drawbacks.

        What are your thoughts on this?

          I must say that would be greatly appreciated.
          It doesn't seem easy, but if you feel up to it, I'm all for it!!!

            That would certainly have great value to UT!
            Personally I use Cinny and a Matrix bridge, but that's a rather indirect solution and I still need to run Signal in Waydroid every now and then. If Signal-CLI could take over that job, that would mean a lot!

            Is currently using an Op5t
            Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                @aarontheissueguy this would be fabulous. I am using Signal on Waydroid but this is not more than a workaround. Signal-cli for me is among the top 5 missing aps.

                  Once I get my Fairphone back from repair, ill start tinkering around with it. Ill probably also need to get a cheap phone number for testing.

                  I dont see why it shouldnt be possible. Ill have to package Java which sucks but its probably worth it.
