We built something similar to this for our Kickflip.io HLS/S3 live video streaming service. The original version is closed source but we rewrote a generic open source Python library called storage_provisioner [1] for a client. It'

Thanks for testing so thoroughly. Some of these problems are likely related to server incompatibilities, but others are definitely client bugs like the QR code stuff. Please report individual issues here [1]. Thank you! 1. https:/&#x2

Most public servers are pretty bad in terms of modern XMPP features [1]. Trust is also a big issue, but one of our goals is to solve this problem by making it much easier to run your own server. We currently default to Dukgo for new registr

MAM will be in 4.1, but there's currently no timeline for that release yet. We plan to do a 4.0.1 release soon to resolve some bugs, and then start working on 4.1. If you signed up for the 4.0 beta, you'll get notifications for th

One caveat I noticed is that you need to use 'cu' instead of 'telnet' or 'screen' or the console gets garbled during wifi setup, at least on my machine. Took a while to figure that one out.

I expected angular.io to be a flashy example Angular 2 SPA and was disappointed when I realized it was just a regular old static HTML website. I guess most of the content is more suited for a static site. At least the search bar on the docs

Thank you Moxie! Although we personally trusted and would've moved forward with Moxie's informal permission to distribute SignalProtocol within ChatSecure on the App Store, our funder required us to get the legal details squared a

I've been pretty quiet about this, but over the last couple of months I have been trying to negotiate with Moxie a way to distribute the GPL licensed AxolotlKit on the iOS App Store in ChatSecure (which is open source). After being den
