I am seeing that you are writing a matrix client UI basically which is nice but I am interested if its possible that you could write it in (agnostic?) UI way if if it makes sense, where I can swap out any other protocol instead of matrix too
I was just interested in something similar once and there are other protocols like session,simplex,signal etc. too which I feel like can definitely benefit from an unified UI perhaps
Personally I am always interested if any messaging app should just create a cli application/api and have someone else create the UI since I feel like the UI bugs and similar can definitely be fixed if its not in house.
I am curious of your opinion regarding it but the project looks cool!
Personally although I can enjoy telegram's UI, nothing beats cinny's UI ever.
Cinny has the best UI of any messaging app I have ever seen personally, there are only very few things I wish to change in that, which can be changed via userstyle and even recent modern element feels good to me personally but cinny is brilliant overall
So I am interested to hear what your thoughts are on cinny too (cinny.in)
I needed a simple chat UI for a diy "SMS gateway" (for an extra [nearly free] phone number used only to receive SMS - mainly for registrations and deliveries) and I ended up using Delta Chat that uses your email server under the hood. So I implemented all the logic based on emails... but it would be much better to have some nice looking UI with easy integration.
Oh yes! I had heard of pidgin but only had people use it for IRC/XMPP but I didnt know it was an universal chat client.
Yes you are absolutely correct, basically pidgin but with telegram's UI (or cinny's UI can be good too) but yea, thanks for pointing out to the resource again! I didnt know it was universal chat client, thanks for helping me know that.
You could just use libpurple to do all the im stuff and literally just write a user interface. That said, purple 2 isn't really designed for modern chat networks, but we're trying to solve that with the still unreleased purple3.
