With simple messager selling out & qksms no longer being actively worked on. What’s our options for open source sms messagers?

Should I dedicate time to learning flutter and building my own or does anyone know any cool foss projects working on this issue?

That’s very disappointing to hear. I’ve upgraded to the latest Fdroid version, and I guess that is where the updates will end!
