if there was an XMPP based hosted chat application that lets me create private rooms for my company (using google auth), I would migrate in a heartbeat.
however, XMPP mistakes open-ness in the protocol with openness in conversations. Every showcase XMPP product is public, open chat rooms.
- jcbrand 9y agoI've added OAuth support for converse.js, it's not released yet, but the code is written. I intend to release that soon to https://inverse.chat https://inverse.chat. Rooms can be made private, members-only and non-searchable. This is standard XMPP behavior.
- sandGorgon 9y agoits not just at the room level, its at the org level. the standard practice is that people create rooms in a slack org - and they are guaranteed that they are private to the org. one more step is where i can create private rooms to a few people within the org. XMPP obviously can support this, but the products built on top of XMPP are too open. The protocol doesnt have an issue - but the people building products on top of XMPP have an inherent distaste for organizational workflows.
- jjrh 9y agoI'm not following. You can run a 'private'/'silo' xmpp server by turning off S2S. There are various commercial solutions that offer this.
