Signal uses a home-brewed crypto protocol(^) and their CTO disallows third party clients, even based on their own open source code.

Just use XMPP.

(^) Granted, moxie can be considered a crypto expert, and the design got some public auditing.

The Axolotl key management algorithm was jointly developed by Moxie and Trevor Perrin. Both of them are widely respected in cryptography, and the protocol has undergone formal cryptanalysis.

A novel crypto algorithm someone puts up on GitHub is "home-brewed." The Axolotl algorithm can no longer fairly be described as "home-brewed."

You can go start, pay for and manage your own server set and go hog wild writing whatever client you want to.
