TextSecure client for Sailfish OS

This is a Signal compatible client for Sailfish OS, written in Go and QML. It builds upon the great Go textsecure package and modified versions of a minimalistic gui. Some Ideas and concepts are taken from WhisperFish which is also a Signal client for Sailfish OS.

This is a project in early stage. It works for me as a daily messenger. But don't expect it to be 'feature complete'!

What works

  • Phone registration
  • Direct and group messages
  • View received Photos
  • Storing conversations
  • Notification on incoming messages (as long as App is running in background)
  • Contact syncronisation

What is missing

  • A lot of the usual UI things, like in other messaging clients
  • Most settings that are available in the Android app
  • Encrypted message store
  • Group handling (group info, create group, delete group, leave group, ...)
  • Desktop client provisioning/syncing
  • Encrypted phone calls
  • ... and so on

Known Bugs

  • You have to restart the app when you leave a wifi and automatically switch to mobile data connection. Otherwise you won't get new messages.

There are still bugs and UI/UX quirks.

I use already the Android-Signal-App, is it possible to use the Android registration for Sailsecure?

I don't know how the credentials of the Android App are stored. Of course, it would be nice if you could dynamically choose which App to use (Andoid Signal Client or SailSecure), depending of one's need.

Personaly I would not have any Android App's on my device. So I will not work on this topic.
