I'm definitely not part of the team that works on HN but my impression is that HN strives to be as simple as possible. I actually like the current minimalistic username+password scheme. No activation email, no captchas. What's wro

Gajim is also far more complex and a little bit buggy. I'm using it daily and it pains me that even removing contacts throws an exception. Unfortunately dino on the other hand looks like it's stuch in a forever alpha state.

Good to hear, I'm also interested in that (hushmail, mailbox.org also use link backs). Is there an issue tracker or a mailing list where one can subscribe and see when this would be available?

Did I get this right: the client is open source while the service that works in the backend and does 80% of the job is closed source?

When I started using CloudFlare for DNS only, without any of their extras, they also did generate cert for my domain and it's impossible to disable this behavior through UI (requires contact with support). I did not expect that becau

Yep, this is completely possible to implement in git. Fossil has it built-in already, that's good. For anyone who wants to see what's possible using low level git tools: https://github.com/google/git-appraise
