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.

I'm actually much more concerned with the size of the app; imnho it's way to big and way to hard to even begin to audit. I'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'm not too hopeful.

It's just far too monolithic a project IMNHO. I want a small easily auditable library along with a small app - but it appears I'll have to implement that myself :-/

Still, at least the code is open, and it builds :-)
