Try the matrix: https://matrix.org/ https://matrix.org/ I found it after trying to write a reasonable XMPP client (previously commented on here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9772968 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9772968 ) and haven't looked back since. I use Matrix on the desktop, my ipad, and my android phone -- the much vaunted multi-device cross-platform success story that seems to be the one nice thing people have to say about facebook chat, you can have that with FOSS too! -- and just for an out-of-left-field bonus, it replaces my need for an IRC bouncer because they have a bridge for that. Finding Matrix was probably my best FOSS discovery of all 2015.
