Hello all,

I have been asking sorund in all platforms if anyone knows of a project to build a client with UI/UX format similar to Discord/Element/Slack but based on XMPP?

I was previously pointed to XEP-0503 which outlines the “Spaces” concept for XMPP which would enable the basic backend service to work with “Spaces” and “subchannels”, but all I have found so far is Cheogram implementing it in channel info to view the set of channels hosted by a given instance/domain. It works, though not extremely reliably.

Does anyone know of a project explicitly pursing an XMPP competitor to Discord/Element?

      This is more of a Slack clone. Promising project, but the “enterprise” focus is a bit off-putting. In addition compatibility with other XMPP clients isn’t great due to some design decisions they made.

      This is slick! Looks pretty polished. I’m interested to figure out how they enable channel creation and management. I’m assuming this is just listing all the channels on the server and the instance doesn’t federate?

      I’m also always curious when there is an open source product like this that has a free self hosted version that they say is user capped at 20 users. How? Is that just an arbitrarily string of code inserted someone that can be easily stripped out? I see some forks so could be.
