Axolotl

Axolotl is a complete cross-platform Signal client, compatible with the Ubuntu Phone and more. Unlike the desktop Signal client, Axolotl is completely autonomous and doesn't require you to have created an account with the official Signal application.

It is built upon presage and a VueJs frontend that runs in a tauri or a qml WebEngineView container.

Contributing

If you contribute new strings, please:

Translation is done by using the easygettext module. Detailed instructions how strings are made translatable are given here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/easygettext.

In short words, either use the v-translate keyword in the last tag enclosing the string or wrap your string in a <translate> tag as the last tag. If you need to make strings in the script section translatable, do it like this this.$gettext("string").

When adding new translatable strings with a PR, make sure to extract and update commands as instructed here. Then also commit the updated pot and po files containing the new strings.
