[whispersystems] Signal Windows Phone universal App

[Christoph Hermann]

Hello together,
IÂŽm studying business informatics at the Masters Programm in germany with
focus on it-security.
Next semester we have to do a project work and I suggested to develop a
Windows Phone universal App for Signal.
IÂŽve already developed some android Apps so i have some development
experience.
But like each new project itÂŽis very difficult to estimate the effort.
It would be very nice to get some help and informations
1. What do you think is the effort for this project?
2. Do you have any informations or handy tips?
3. Is someone interested in supporting me?

Best wishes
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

There has already been some discussion on the mailing list and some
people have started making progress. It's probably a good idea to get
in touch with them?

Here's a snippet of a previous email:

Hi all,

I wanted to send a quick update to the list about the status of a
Windows Phone version. Something basic that can send messages back in
forth is in place thanks to the hard work of Simon D! I've got the
previously mentioned libraries referenced into the project using
NuGet, and I feel like it's ready for community contribution.

I put out a couple of good starter ideas for someone wanting to get
their feet wet in the code base. You can find those here:
https://github.com/smndtrl/Signal-UWP/issues

This code works on Windows 10, and Windows Phone 10 CTP (if you join
the insider's program, you can get this...although Windows 10 Mobile's
release should be shortly around the corner).

Please feel free to start making some contributions to this project!
In general, keep the same coding guidelines in mind that you see for
Signal Android. Here are some basic build instructions (although it
should be pretty obvious to those who have used Visual Studio before).
