Me and some other people from Free Software Community are planning to release a privacy-respecting free software chatting app, named Prav (means pigeon in Malayalam language) for Indian users, which would be interoperable with XMPP.
We want more people to get involved because we want to have democratic decision making process.
Please visit the website https://prav.app. Also, please share with your contacts.
@ravi great idea. Hacking such stuff makes fun. Anyhow please ask youself: does it really help having yet another XMPP client? Really really?
Developing an up-to-date featured XMPP client takes months or even years, depending in team size. And XMPP clients no fully featured are distracting and can't compete with user expectations - and discouraging people form Xmmp at all.
Please build on top of existing blocks! Thanks
@kirschwipfel we are building on existing blocks. We are only providing a subscription based service forking already existing apps. There is more to this than the technical side as well.
@badrihippo @kirschwipfel A list of features in being made right now. They will be prepared in a week. Then, members will vote to prioritize the features.
@ravi @kirschwipfel oh nice! Looking forward to seeing it 🙂
@ravi @kirschwipfel this sounds interesting! Is there a list of planned features I can check out (which differentiates it from vanilla Conversations/Quicksy)? Or is the focus going to be mainly on the onboarding and server hosting?
