HN comment orderA really useful tool for us folks who don't use smartphones, been using it for the last 5 years to have Signal-desktop without a smartphone. Can't thank the maintainer and contributors enough! https://ctrl.alt.coop/en/post/signal-without-a-smartphone/
Is it possible to use this along with the smartphone app (i.e., by "registering" with the same phone number) or does this CLI effectively represent an independent registration which would supersede the one on the phone? The README said something specific on this – so I assume it's the latter?
