I don’t think the backend my code depends on supports this yet, but good to know it might well in the future.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I’ve finally made my repo public thanks to your comment: https://codeberg.org/Flamekebab/FruitBatBot

I’m not here to fight you. I was replying with a cool thing I wrote to share baby pics to family and friends, not trying to be the most perfect hardcore op sec person on the internet.

People I know use Signal. I have never even heard of two of the three services mentioned higher up the thread.

When I wrote it I was dealing with a newborn, auditing whether Signal passes some No True Scotsman test for open source-ness was really not my priority.

Ugh, this kind of response is so off-putting. You can reply if you like but I’m probably just going to delete the whole damn comment thread because fuck this kind of purity test bullshit.

I wasn’t asking for fucking feedback on my work.

Also more secure and trustworthy because it’s open source.

But Signal is open source…?

Getting a phone number was relatively cheap and easy, so for a one-off implementation, Signal was an easy choice as it’s what many friends and family already use.

What would be the advantage?

Yep. I keep an old phone for the bot to be a linked device.

I’ve written a Signal bot that listens for messages from my wife and me. It’s for sharing pictures of our daughter with a small list of people that want baby pics. The images we send it get blurred and sent as a preview, with an unblurred version sent as a “view once” image. Each blurred image contains an ID so that recipients can request the images again.
