Structure

The sigchat code is primarily concerned with the Signal specific protocols, while the Chat library handles the UI and pddb storage.

The Chat library provides the UI to display a series of Signal post (Posts) in a Signal group (Dialogue) stored in the pddb. Each Dialogue is stored in the pddb:dict sigchat.dialogue under a descriptive pddb:key (ie ``).

sigchat passes a menu to the Chat UI:

• register to register a new Signal account with a phone number
• link this device to an existing Signal account.

The sigchat servers is set to receive:

• SigchatOp::Post A memory msg containing an outbount user post
• SigchatOp::Event A scalar msg containing important Chat UI events
• sigchat::Menu A scalar msg containing click on a sigchat MenuItem
• SigchatOp::Rawkeys A scalar msg for each keystroke
