Noise
Noise is a Signal Messenger client in Elisp for Emacs powered by https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli
Its ultimate goal is to provide a fast and efficient user interfae for Signal chats.
Tech stack
The tech stack is Elisp and SQLite (for storing conversations)
Setup
The project assumes a working installation of signal-cli and interfaces with that via JSON-RPC.
Dependencies
For SQLite access we use this library - https://github.com/pekingduck/emacs-sqlite3-api
We communicate with signal-cli via JSON-RPC over HTTP on localhost port 9128 by default but this can be configured by specifying noise-signal-cli-address
User Experience
We follow Emacs conventions for keybindings with the addition of evil support out of the box. When evil compatibility is enabled then we provide a modal interface for searching conversations/contacts, creating conversations, sending messages, etc.
User Interface
See the file signal-emacs-ui.html for user interface mockups we're targetting.
