Tbh I2P would be a more suitable platform to build a messenger similar platform to Ricochet, in fact there was an effort to get exactly that up and running called Invisible.im, but that later merged with Ricochet to avoid duplication. But as I2P is the ideal network, I2P-Messenger is far from the ideal client. Most of the code is a mess of if else statements and there are no other features than being able to chat 1on1 with another I2P-Messenger instance.
