- Sniffnoy 9y agoHuh, interesting. Its website isn't very informative though. I can't find a list of protocols, annoyingly.
- cosmie 9y agoIt has a plugin architecture. Most of the core services it supports are listed in the Franz Plugin repo[1]. Note that it's not just about IM protocols, but rather a one-stop messaging app in general (so supports things like Gmail). And there are quite a few third-party plugins floating around, as well. And a good number that haven't been ported from Franz 4 to Franz 5. [1] https://github.com/meetfranz/plugins#example-recipes https://github.com/meetfranz/plugins#example-recipes
- quotemstr 9y agoHuh? Based on the code, it looks like this thing just embeds stock web clients in some kind of webview and uses a little bit of JS injection to extract message counts. It's nowhere close to actually reverse engineering any protocol.

- cosmie 9y agoInteresting. I hadn't realized that before. In the Windows version, there's no reference to it anywhere. And I no longer have a Mac to check that out (although it did trigger the dedicated GPU in the MBP, I attributed that to the FB Messenger plugin). In looking for references to the miner, people seem to mention Rambox[1] as an alternative. I can't say much about that as I just came across it, but it looks promising as well.
