Fluux Messenger: A fast, modern, cross-platform XMPP client for communities and organizations. - processone/fluux-messenger
Screenshos from the repo:
No aarch64 builds yet, but I have opened an issue. Might have a look at building this, as I cannot wait to try this on my phone (Pixel 3a/Mobian).
I'm really happy to see that they shamelessly ripped off discord. We saw with bluesky that having an ultra-familiar UX is a big advantage.
For mobile linux, I'm going to stick with Dino. I like that it is lightweight, natively supported and integrates well with the rest of the system thanks to libadwaita.
I'm disappointed that contributors have to sign a CLA that allows them to relicense to proprietary licenses. So, all the power goes to them.
I've never used Discord, so I thought "Oh, like Element, but less broken! Fancy."
I'm not a fan of Bluesky, but good point! Might recommend that client to a lot of people once it can do OMEMO.
I just miss ad-hoc commands, which Fluux already does. I'd prefer libadwaita as well, but having a way to config my IRC transport on the go is great. Gajim mostly works on the phone, but not as well as Fluux.
Pretty sure there'd be a community fork pretty quickly, as this is already one of the clients with the most clean UI.
That makes a lot of sense. I hope it works well on the phone!
Yeah, in fairness I'm probably overreatcting a bit. One of the things I really like about XMPP is the diversity of stakeholders and developers. I would be really sad if that went away.
