Signal, which is only available via Playstore, if I'm not mistaken

You are, in fact, mistaken

Thanks, didn't know that existed.
Although their website is inaccurate, as it seems not to be available on f-droid.

It is. Follow these instructions. It adds an F-Droid repository with the applications

Interesting...
I had the conflict with f-droid in my mind, where the Signal developers were very specific about not wanting any Signal builds distributed outside of the Playstore.
That seems to have changed...?
But still no build distributed via f-droid, I just checked. But that may still be because the f-droid maintainers really where pissed off at the time...
