What is the purpose of this? It seems more like a pet project than a serious release considering there's no roadmap.
What is your motivation? Surely you're aware of the abundant amount of XMPP client applications that have existed for the better part of the last 20 years?
- larma 7y agoThere is a section on motivation in the blog post (it literally has "Motivation" in the title): > A number of clients already exist for the XMPP protocol, however Dino sets a different focus. Existing clients target tech-savvy power users. The XMPP ecosystem lacks a client that is enjoyable to use while providing the features people expect from a modern chat application. Dino fills that gap by aiming to be secure and privacy-friendly while at the same time providing a great user experience.

- johnmarcus 7y agoEncryption. You are missing encryption.
- seba_dos1 7y agoPidgin is a very bad XMPP client these days - at least until you have spent quite a lot of time on gathering and configuring all the plugins needed for modern XMPP experience.
- julian-klode 7y agoPidgin works fine if you use one device. If you have multiple devices or want to receive messages while you're offline, it does not support that.
