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?
I’ve been digging into thos heavily regarding XMPP. Good news is there is some backend development going on that will enable this, bad news is its going to take a bit of time and then the clients will have to adopt or be developed. Maybe I will try out vibecoding it, lol.
That’s nice to hear! I would love to see XMPP get the love it deserves.
XOWS has the front end aesthetic down
https://github.com/iquercorb/xows?tab=readme-ov-file
and so does prose.org
neither have actual subchannel/spaces functions across multiple domains though. Hopefully easy enough to patch in with new spaces protocol when it becomes available?
