eul is a light (4 MB) native desktop client for all popular messengers: https://eul.im Signal support is coming later this year. Right now it supports Slack, Skype, Facebook, and Gmail.
is eul open source?
It's ludicrous that you need javascript enabled to download a secure messaging app.

About your edit: precious information, thanks!
Speaking of edits, you should probably edit the misinformation out of your original post, while you have time. It's ranked pretty high up the thread and it's completely inaccurate.

Fedora doesn't support APT right? It needs to be packaged separately? So it's a whole bunch of work for a small user base.

It uses `electron-builder`, which has rpm support. I don't think it would be that difficult to add in a pull request, might do it myself later. (I use Fedora, with SELinux and Wayland and all that good stuff)

You still need a phone with a registered Signal on iOS or Android initially to activate the desktop version (sorry if that wasn't clear), but you can turn your phone off after. Edit: It actually has the option to register without smartphone, but it's only enabled in the debug versions.
Where can you get the debug version? I can't find it.

Moxie strictly disagrees with that, and has previously tried to shut down every third-party build of Signal, even in repos for distros or F-Droid. He only wants users to get Signal builds from himself, and no one else.
Then he shouldn't release the code.
On the topic of LibreSignal, a fork with the only change being that it supports notifications without relying on proprietary libraries:
> I'm not OK with LibreSignal using our servers, and I'm not OK with LibreSignal using the name "Signal." You're free to use our source code for whatever you would like under the terms of the license, but you're not entitled to use our name or the service that we run.

Basically, he argues that no one but him has the right to build a client that connects to his servers.
Disclaimer: I personally am critical of Moxie's demands that he fully controls all released client builds, servers, and his use of analytics.
Privacy. Privacy. Privacy. Bla, bla, bla... Now we are going to ask for your phone number. Am I the only one who thinks this defeats the whole point?
Signal feels slightly like the pigs in Animal Farm getting everyone riled up against the unjust farmers, only to take their place.

You're right, I clarified it a little.
