What are the advantages of this?

  It supports linking two Android devices.

    This is huge. There's been 3rd party Signal library for this for years -- and for some reason I can't determine, the developers have opted NOT to do this.

      Yeah, the Signal team's roadmap seems very strange to me as an outsider. There are some low hanging fruits which they just seem to refuse to fix. And given how in this case Molly could fix it it cannot have been that hard to fix.

    this is why molly.im was a lifesaver for me.. trying to move a family member from VIBER to SIGNAL and ran into the annoying roadblock of not being able to link an Android tablet to an Android phone like Viber can - but molly does it fine.

    If you use Signal on your Android phone, can you link with Molly on another Android device (tablet) without Signal complaining?

      I just tried it on a 2nd phone and it seems to work.

        I got logged out of Signal after setting up Molly

          Now reading this on the GitHub page: "If you wish to use the same phone number for both Molly and Signal, you must register Molly as a linked device. Registering the same number independently on both apps will result in only the most recently registered app staying active, while the other will go offline."

            Yeah, pretty sure that's what me and the other comment meant. Linked device, like using Signal on Desktop. Or Signal on iPad. Linking wasn't available on Signal for Android for some reason. Specifically I'm using Signal as the main device, with Molly as the linked device on 2nd phone.
