New SMS client for KDE Connect (feedback welcome)

[Steve Benz]

I’ve been working on a new SMS client that integrates with KDE Connect, 
with the goal of addressing some long‑standing usability and reliability 
issues in the existing SMS app. It's at a point now where it's ready for 
more people to try it out. I hope you'll find that you much prefer it 
over the existing sms app.

The code is here: https://github.com/NermNermNerm/smsapp.git

And I’ve made a prebuilt release: 
https://github.com/NermNermNerm/smsapp/releases/tag/v0.0

I’m looking for feedback from people familiar with KDE Connect’s SMS 
plugin. The biggest limitation right now is reliability — I’ve added 
defensive logic to work around some of the plugin’s quirks, but there 
are structural issues that can’t be solved on the client side alone. I 
wouldn't want to put this thing out into the world without addressing that.

Before I go further, I’d like to hear what the community thinks: whether 
this direction makes sense, whether there’s interest in improving the 
SMS plugin itself, and whether this could eventually be something worth 
upstreaming.

If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you giving it a try and 
sharing your thoughts.
