Livewire: A native XMPP client for Ubuntu Touch
-
@projectmoon Okay, all right. I installed the app, and it looks promising. This could turn out to be something really big. Especially with olmea encryption in all conversations.
-
@Linus67 come join the (currently one man) party in livewire@conference.agnos.is to test things out!

Thank you I have been hopeful a working UT OMEMO XMPP chat client would come soon.
This is very heavy but functions which is great.
I have a few questions.
How far away are features like:- OMEMO MUC, In band registration, support multiple accounts, audio/video calls?
If Libervia is a backend is there a possibly it could be merged into the existing messages app? -

OMEMO MUCNext major item on the list. All the pieces are present, just need to assemble them correctly.
In band registration
I consider it lower priority: something for app stable release, but not for alpha -> beta graduation. Although it's a barrier to new users, it's possible to register elsewhere. However, if someone wants to contribute it earlier, hey ho let's go.
support multiple accounts
Coming soon to a .click near you
audio/video calls?
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away.
If Libervia is a backend is there a possibly it could be merged into the existing messages app?
Anything is possible. But I won't be doing it. I don't know how the Lomiri messaging app is constructed, exactly, and if it's specific to SMS/MMS or not.

audio/video calls
If this is high priority for you, you might want to give DeltaTouch a try. Earlier this weekI tried a videochat with a friend who was using DeltaChat on /e/OS, and it worked fine.

@projectmoon So i know, i need to do my own investigations, but uhh
can you explain a little why someone could need this? what is the advantage of your app?
like i am ungoogled searching the meaning of a xmpp client and "olmea" encryption.the app looks great...

It is an XMPP client. XMPP/Jabber is an instant messaging standard like Matrix. Older, different, some might say more efficient. But the end result is the same: put text into box, send text to other people. OMEMO (not olmea) is just the name of the end to end encryption used.

xmpp client
Xmpp is a decently popular chat protocol with a great number of clients:
https://xmpp.org/software/?category=clientsIt makes a lot of sense for UT to have one or more native clients, too.

Nice work @projectmoon looks like a solid project. Never thought that Greenline could be used as a base for anything, the way the app is structured is too "whatsapp-specifc" and with a lot of code shortcuts, a bit hacky to be honest.
I'm seeing that you're building some non python modules into the project, numpy as an example. How are you building that for arm64? Are you cross compiling, building in a arm64 worker, or something else? Thanks!

@projectmoon thanks for the response, u aswell @moem
Another project to look into, i grew up with irc, but yea that is kinda not so safe at all xD, wel atleast unless you mask your identity but i cant remember how i did all that back in the days
