Surprised scli isn't in there. It's one of the few pieces of software that I'll actually advocate for: super stable, great bindings if you're coming from vim, and surprisingly complete. Also since the desktop app for Signal is hot garbage, it's really a must for me. [1] https://github.com/isamert/scli/ https://github.com/isamert/scli/

Also sup-mail, which I found much more usable than mutt, neomutt, or alpine.

  If you like sup-mail, I recommend also trying notmuch via alot. https://notmuchmail.org/ https://notmuchmail.org/ https://github.com/pazz/alot https://github.com/pazz/alot There are other options if you don't like alot. See: https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/ https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/

You're a godsend. I've been trying to hack together a tiling desktop and trying to focus on CLI and tui options, the Frankenstein of graphical and tui applications is not quite what I'd prefer. And the signal electron app is 100% hot garbage, I wont use it regardless anymore. Gonna check this out.

  Another option would be to bridge signal to Matrix (along with other networks as I do) and then use gomuks. It's pretty neat for TUI and can even show low Res images.I have WhatsApp, telegram and signal bridged. There's a really great ansible playbook that'll set it all up for you. I do this because this way I can have all my chat apps in one app and also all the chart histories together in one database. But scli is pretty nice too yeah.

    So I'm using gomuks but there seems to be no way to interactively verify, maybe I'm missing it in the docs but is there some way to verify with keys directly?

  There has been a rust-library for signal in the works. I read some discussion on it that made it clear the aim was to develop a proper signal-desktop application. The rust-library has a cli, which is not quite finished. https://github.com/whisperfish/presage https://github.com/whisperfish/presage
