This comment is misleading. You can use Signal through the desktop app, you just have to register through the phone app first. Maybe they will allow registration through desktop in the future, but this is how it works right now.

The only downside is that you can only message other signal users via the desktop app. At least last time I tried. This has caused me to use googles messages app via their web so that I can type on my keyboard :(

And oddly enough the "your phone" app on windows 10, which is frankly, quite good.
