For me, I don't plan on fully switching to Signal unless there's the ability to create an identity that isn't tied to a phone number.

- godelski 6y agoThis is announced to come out this year. Likely sooner than later.
- XorNot 6y agoI actually really need a web interface to Signal. Family has got me stuck into Facebook Messenger for a good while, but the desire to use it on corporate supplied hardware is why it has stuck around for me. For other things I have some self-hosted services on my own domain so I can, for example, grab a common set of scripts and the like - but AFAIK I can't use Signal from the web.
- 29083011397778 6y agoHave you considered using a Matrix [0] bridge [1] to relay Signal messages between any Matrix client and Signal? Most bridges work very well for messaging in my experience, and some web clients (such as Hydrogen [2]) use less than 15MB of RAM according to the the most recent status report on it [3]. You already have the domain knowledge to host another service on your own domain, and so running a Synapse server is well within reach. At least this way you have the choice between two imperfect choices: running another service vs. not having a Signal web-client.
