Really surprised that they use XMPP. Since you don't really hear anything about XMPP anymore, I think most people assumed that it's dropped off in usage/popularity (or people have moved to some other proprietary solution).
I've always thought that XMPP would be useful for games, just surprised to hear that people are actually doing it.
- solotronics 9y agoa ton of services use XMPP underneath the hood like Signal, WhatsApp, Jabber etc. it looks like a great business model to take something open source and hard to use and make a proprietary version thats easy to install and use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_Protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_Protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/corporate-strategy-office/acquisitions/jabberinc.html https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/corporate-strategy-offic...
- e12e 9y agoSignal isn't xmpp based? Jabber is xmpp. Not sure about WhatsApp.
- merb 9y ago> Not sure about WhatsApp. whatsapp at least was in the "early" days. they had some extensions to it but you could connect to it pretty easily (once you had a valid account generated with a real mobile number) not sure if it is still the case, things changed a lot I guess, especially with encryption.
