@marlboro50 well, first because I didn't know. And of course, I'd say "why not?"
Secondly because I'm tired of opening accounts here and there and everytime asking my friends and family to join me...
We want to move away from Skype, Telegram, Whatsapp, Facetime and Slack to Matrix using our own personal server thanks to Yunohost. Yunohost makes everything so easy thanks to LDAP. One account for all services (email, nextcloud, matrix...)
Matrix is a network that has already several clients on all platform. UT has already an awesome chat client with Fluffychat. It will only be missing a calling client.
PureOS on librem5 will have such client by default.
I want to communicate with a maximum of people and matrix is growing. Because matrix has a lot of qualities, can be bridged with others so it is attractive to all.. Because the french government is keeping investing on matrix so it gives confidence that it won't disappear tomorrow and it will keep growing.
I don't know about Jamie, maybe it is growing too but I've never heard of it before and I don't have any friend or family using it yet.
Computers have been made to make things easy to human, not to make them complicated. Before when you wanted to call, you were using a phone number and you were reaching your love one. Nowadays, you need to switch between apps and accounts.
I love diversity don't take me wrong but when something is working and people are adopting it, let's go for it. And if you don't like matrix network or a specific client, I found great people who take the liberty (and have the knowledge for it) to build something else, but please make it work with what already exists, be compatible.
And that, I'm afraid, Jamie isn't. It most probably work, maybe better, smoother than matrix but it is isolated, incompatible with the rest. It might be a free software but it doesn't give me the feeling of freedom to speak with my love ones.
So, sorry but I would rather participate to a bounty for a light matrix call client on UT than for porting whatever other app.
Krille? You were saying?
Love you!
Speaking of Bounty, if you love FluffyChat and want Krille to be able to work on this idea of a matrix call client for UT and snap, here are the way to help him.

It is my own initiative to advertise his accounts. Krille is for nothing in it.
As soon as UT will provide a bounty system, I guess we will all switch to that, but for now...
I've discovered that UBports is on Liberapay too : https://liberapay.com/UBports/ . You forgot to add your mastodon account guys.
