Hi there,
I'm Corentin Noël, responsible of the Online Accounts integration at
elementary.
Since a few years now, we are using the GSignond daemon on elementary, a
GLib-based alternative of the Signond daemon as we are not willing to introduce
a Qt dependency on our system just for one daemon.
Signond has been mainly developed by Canonical for Ubuntu, with the recent
Unity events, the developers of Signond have been laid-off.

You seem to be the last desktop environment that still use Signond, and I think
that it would be a better idea to switch to GSignond.
The switch can be really easy for you, both are very compatible, you mainly
just have to use the libgsignond library instead of libsignond on the
daemon-plugins side, and use libgsignon-glib instead of libsignon-glib.

I'm open to changes on any side and would be very pleased to have more
cooperation with you on Online Accounts integration.
