SiGiNT

The insecure non-signal messenger.

Signal is a secure messenger app which auto-updates and does not support chromebooks. This is none of those things.

This is an fork of an older version of Signal which was installable as a google chrome extension, so that I can use it on my chromebook.

If you don't have to use this, you shouldn't. If you are worried about your security, you also shouldn't, if you're using a chromebook and you want to be able to chat with people on signal by any means necessary, welcome to the swamp.

How to install

1. Download sigint-dist.zip
2. Unzip sigint-dist.zip so you have the dist folder somewhere in your directory
3. Open chrome and type in chrome://extensions/
4. Enable "Developer mode" (upper/right)
5. Click "Load unpacket" (upper/left)
6. Select the /dist folder in the menu
7. Congratulations, you have something vaguely like signal

Will it ever be updated ?

probably not, auto-update will never happen

What if there's a security vulnerability ?

bad things

This is a terrible idea

don't use it
