To me, this announcement feels pre-mature, the software doesn&#x27;t seem ready until it integrates with other clients. But I think, giving time, your concerns could be addressed:<p>-Integration with other devices, backing up and importing your back up between devices, are features that will come, eventually.<p>-There are several 3rd party standalone desktop apps being developed for Signal.<p>-You <i>could</i> maybe build a Textsecure server, and in the future, who knows, there may be documentation for doing so.<p>Maybe Signal isn&#x27;t ready for you right now now but I wouldn&#x27;t count it out!
