Description

Package name

session-desktop

Package homepage

Description

Session is a highly anonymous, secure, decentralized and FOSS messaging client that sends conversations through lokinet.
I use it to talk to my partner, my family and most other people in my personal life that i might share sensitive information with. It originally started as a fork of Signal, but has become a completely different thing by now. I would be very happy if this would be added to the void linux repositories. It should be relatively easy to make a template for this and add it to the repos, though I am still a nerd in learning and would rather have someone smarter than me try their hands at it. Thank you for any response in advance!
