I had the synapse-instance, plus VoIP, irc-bridges, whatsapp and facebook bridges all up in about one day.
The Signal bridge? It's an absolute train-wreck to setup, and after spending a good whole weekend++ getting everything building...
Then I found out that the "pair" command never completes. By random I later found out that it only works for the other users which has an Android phone. Seemingly it doesn't work if you use an iPhone to pair up, but that's not documented anywhere either.
I find it particularly interesting comparing that to the bridges for other proprietary IM-systems (facebook, whatsapp), because you would expect those to perform worse (being closed, need reverse-engineering, etc), but no. They are seamless to setup, while open-sourcey hero "Signal" is impossible to create an integration against.

Pretty unexpected and weird.
