Would it be possible to port this app?

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?.

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.
