@almet ah super !
Du coup je suis curieux, comment ça maintient la connexion "primaire" au compte Signal ? Dans le use-case de signal-cli, il faut que le signal-cli soit paramétré pour faire un `receive` régulièrement, parce qu'il y a des évènements qui ne sont pas envoyés directement aux devices secondaires (genre, si j'ai bien compris, les MAJ de groupe et d'expiration de messages) ?
[edit] cf. le "hint" en bas du paragraphe usage du readme https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli
C'est pas quelque chose que j'ai vu de mon côté, en pratique, et quand un compte secondaire récupère les données; mais je manque de recul sur l'outil qui est encore jeune.
Du coup, actuellement :
- Pas de `receive` qui se fait depuis le compte principal ;
- Le cas où tu te fait "desync" est prévu, mais plutôt pour pouvoir resync avec les mêmes clés.
Quick user request: it would be fantastic to have Signal also integrate with services such as Rambox https://rambox.app/ where all my other communication channels reside.

@fla We do understand, but FYI, see the other update/commit here. The future will tell :)
@almet does this tool store data that's critical to recovering stuff like backups?
i dont see an option to backup from the signal desktop app
So, it seems that Signal Desktop doesn't do backups. As its the primary intended linked device in my use cases, I don't think I should add support for it so far.

Thanks for asking!
Signal lost me at "Enter your phone number".
@almet still requires a phone number, the single most insecure fucking thing that refuses to die and nobody fights hard enough against.
Edit: I would rather use DeltaChat|ArcaneChat or other stuff made by myself or some random guy than anything that requires a phone number
Amazing stuff!!
This looks cool and I'm glad it exists! It does seem rather new though, I think I'll wait around a bit and see where the project goes. Also, I don't think there would be a way to migrate from my existing account?
