Pretty much this. The  noise about f-droid tends to be a bit misguided, and fwiw building an apk from the Signal source on github is pretty painless.<p>I&#x27;m actually much more concerned with the size of the app; imnho it&#x27;s <i>way</i> to big and way to hard to even begin to audit. I&#x27;ve been trying to figure out if there are some simple core that could be extracted for building a minimal cli app with minimal media support -- but so far I&#x27;m not too hopeful.<p>It&#x27;s just far too monolithic a project IMNHO. I want a small easily auditable library along with a small app - but it appears I&#x27;ll have to implement that myself :-&#x2F;<p>Still, at least the code is open, and it builds :-)
