Why this and not converseJS? What are the killer features :)
- jiofih 7y agoI think this uses ConverseJS. Converse is not a full featured client on its own, and will require your own websocket-enabled proxy most of the time since BOSH is rarely enabled.
- jcbrand 7y agoMovim doesn't use Converse. It's an older project than Converse. > Converse is not a full featured client on its own I guess that depends on your definition of "full featured", but it has more features than a lot of other clients. Most XMPP servers support BOSH and websocket directly and since direct TLS connections aren't possible in the browser Converse uses those. If the XMPP server admin doesn't enable BOSH or websocket, that's not really Converse's fault :)
- jcbrand 7y agoMovim has more social features such as microblogging. AFAIK it aims to be more of a social networking site than a chat app.
- edhelas 7y agoConverseJS mostly focuses on Chat, Movim is also doing social features (checkout the website for more info https://movim.eu/ https://movim.eu/) such as publications, comments, sharing… There's also video-conferencing support. But the biggest difference is that Movim is a "light-client", most of the work is done server side, the browser is just showing the result, you can reload the page, close the tab and come back 1h after the session will stay open.
