Hello,
I use OpenBSD as my daily driver and would like to ask whether anyone would consider porting a Signal client.
Signal is the messenger many people around me use, and right now I have to keep another system or a phone at hand just for it. A native client on OpenBSD would remove that need.
I understand Signal Desktop has a heavy dependency chain, so a lighter client would also be welcome if that is more realistic.
If someone has already looked into this, I would like to know what blocks it. I am willing to test on amd64 (ThinkPad T490) and report back.
Thank you for your work on OpenBSD.
Best regards,
