While @suraj_sloth is working on the #UnifiedPush connector side in #Chatty I got a chance to add the code for registering/unregistering #Matrix push gateways in #libcmatrix and Chatty (with this I can readily round trip messages up to the UP distributor):
#phosh #LinuxMobile #adwaita #gtk

in reply to Gamey :thisisfine: :antifa: • • •@gamey We picked Matrix as it has server side protocol support already. This way we can get a foothold that is (once more complete and merged) already useful to users while we can work on improving the bits on the phones (to e.g. allow for wakeup/sleep cycles).
This wouldn't work with signal (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/12490) so convincing upstream that this would be good to have would be an important step.

in reply to Gamey :thisisfine: :antifa: • • •@gamey I think the Chatty authors were very much aware of libpurple's features and limitations and blaming libpurple for anything in Chatty wouldn't be fair to libpurple.
Protocol support is more than anything else a matter of maintainer will power/interest and funding. Idk where Purism promised Signal but I don't know any Chatty developer that ever thought that more than one well supported IM protocol (besides SMS/MMS) would be realistic *without* adding additional developers.

in reply to Gamey :thisisfine: :antifa: • • •@gamey It would be *very* nice to have support for more common protocols in one app. It's not an easy task though and needs folks working on it.
Modern chat apps include video and audio calls, etc. That's a lot of stuff to churn on. Things like libpurple or Matrix's Rust SDK can help here to some extend but it needs people diving into it 😃 So contributions are welcome.
