Signal-CLI on Ubuntu touch?
-
@pparent In the real world, I'd be happy about any native Signal app for UT, be it secondary, primary or both.

Hallo Aarontheissueguy,
how far you are with the development of a Signalapp?
If it is not possible, I would write to Signal itself and ask them, if there want to support Ubuntu touch and create a version for it.
The next question would be, if it wished from the community or the foundation, that I do that?
The thing for me is, that waydriod get more and more controlled by microsoft*, so have not a good feeling to use molly in long therm via waydroid.
- this is, what I reed about waydroid

That is interesting, can you tell us where you read that?

I will check it, maybe I mixed somthing up. I will prove it an answer soon
-
sorry, I muddelt it up with github.
-
The thing was, that I just switched to Ubuntu touch and wanted to keep using "simple calendar" on it, because I really like it.
But briefly I read, that microsoft is unfortunately the owner of github for view years now. And the "simple calendar" is from github.

@bunt7 Not sure what MS being the owner of the source forge (GitHub in this case) has to do with the code hosted on there. It is not as if they are going to inject nefarious code during the build process.
At most the author might object to their code being used for machine learning. But that does not affect you as a user of the app in the least.
-
By the way signal itself is hosted on github, it does not give microsoft any power over Signal. And in case of a problem it could switch to gitlab or anything else overnight.
Think of GitHub as some could storage for code. (But Microsoft cannot change the code without being detected immediately, because developers keep copies of the code on their machines)

@arubislander Thanks arubislander and pparent, it helps me to get an more differentiated view on the subject.

@bunt7 So unfortunately I still don't have a functional Fairphone. It's been two months and Fairphone support has been dead silent apart from bot mails.
According to some Fairphone forum user, the support at Fairphone has basically been non-existent since January. I don't know what that tells you about the state of a company. I'm honestly quite shocked, considering their mission to make long-lasting phones.I think I might be able to send it to Murena for Reflashing. Once I get it back, I will start development.
I wont give any ETA here, It will probably still take a few months until i can present anything usable.

But what do you think about basing a solution on a custom build of signal-desktop?
Because this seems to me the most promising way it have it running (Especially with upcoming Wayland-compatible Mir2.0), and I might give it a try when I have time.
