As some of you may know, we're building Flatline, a self‑hostable soft fork of the Signal Server. It lets you run a mostly Signal‑compatible server for research and private deployments.

We already run a Flatline server in Bahnhof cloud for internal development.

Now we're working on accounts without phone numbers, and the technical draft is public.

If you're interested or might ever want to run your own server, have a look.

Open to questions or suggestions.

@mollyim i also have some opinions about the new cryptosystem introduced by signal's new cryptographer and will be looking to implement a separate double ratchet implementation for separate reasons. i don't expect my implementation will be useful for the molly project but was wondering if there was any discussion about double ratchet vs spqr for this independent implementation

@hipsterelectron We haven't talked about it, but it's interesting and we'd love to hear your thoughts. In practice, though, it goes beyond our team expertise and we wouldn't really be able to evaluate any change properly.

That said, we're always looking for new members. Server-less messaging is actually something we're super interested in, btw. Flatline is a step along the way for us, not the final goal.
