Check out eul, it's a native desktop client for all major messaging platforms. Signal support is coming in October. It's only 4 MB, and it can handle thousands of messages without lag.

I'm really sad it has to be downloaded, but there's no other way to do authentication. Will switch to Servo once it's ready, it's only ~20 MB.
Looking at your comment history (on both your accounts), you say you plan to open-source it, but you're not sure under what license, and you also hope to make money off it but you're not sure how - possibly through a "paid option"? I commend your effort, but until the exact nature of the project is settled, I would expect confusion and reluctance on the part of your potential users.
Personally, I would never use a secure messenger I couldn't compile myself.
