Hack Matrix support into Telegram or Signal clients

They are open source and have a good interface.

Why not just use multiprotocol client like Pidgin?

As far as I can tell, it doesn't look very refined. homebeach <notifications@github.com> schrieb am So., 31. Mai 2020, 09:40:

Pidgin is great for what it is, but also quite old. Afaik the idea here is not to revive the classic multiprotocol clients like Pidgin, Gajim, Trillian, Adium, etc, but to basically take over a modern UX and basically clamp Matrix behind it :P

How about https://www.notion.so/NovaChat-15ca975b1c47425488efd4acec9bdf91?

@homebeach : My point was not to bridge Matrix and Telegram with this. I only want to steal the mature UX for a native Matrix client!

Also an option: mattermost and rocket.chat

1. steal the UX and make it a matrix client.
2. convince them to switch out the default backend to matrix.
3. millions of new matrix users.

convince them to switch out the default backend to matrix.

I remember the days when Facebook and Google Chat were based on XMPP and federated publicly...
