Do you think that it’s possible to build a web service to chat compatible with email , xmpp and matrix?
(and why not even with activityPub or rocketChat ?? )

[exemple and why in the post…]

      How can they make a closed source fork of an open source (Apache-2.0) project?

        I am not an expert, but I see that the Apache license has no copyleft.

          Oh damn, I always thought Apache2.0 will protect also the derivative works, but apparently I was wrong:

      Hi :) yes I did. And I tried. 🙂

      It’s a great multi protocol app. But you cannot chat in the same conversation with two different protocol. :/

      And there is no xmpp support.

      Even for the matrix federation it was possible only with the desktop app.

      So that’s not that I looking for.
