XMPP at 11 years old would place us in the year 2010. Requirements were different in those times. Psi on my desktop and Bombus (a J2ME client) on my Nokia E71 worked great. The transition from that into the mobile-first age was rough though

Indeed. And on a Google-free Android phone the XMPP client Conversations can utilize its existing, permanent XMPP connection to deliver push notifications to other (mostly open-source) apps using an alternative to Google push (FCM) called U

XMPP these days often gets used as a friends-and-family style messenger (Think WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal replacement) rather than something communities would use (Discord/IRC). A lot of users of XMPP are also out of the public eye. NA

The blog post you are referencing explains the changes the XMPP community has to do to keep up with what Lets encrypt did. TLDR: People just need to upgrade their servers.

Maybe the first but not the only one. Ltt.rs (an email client using JMAP) does this as well. BTW you can also directly deliver WebPush notifications to FCM servers. No need for a proxy/rely run by the app developer. Ltt.rs has support

There are certificates that are valid for the XMPP domain example.com but not for the regular (HTTP) server on example.com. Off-the-shelf verifier don’t have support for that.

JMAP (IMAP+Submission replacement) has support for WebPush. If I have a minute I’ll implement UnifiedPush in https://Ltt.rs - Sadly JMAP doesn’t have a lot of server implementations. (Yet? Maybe)

> Causing all extensible JSON-based protocols to eventually reinvent them: That's funny because it's true. To add to your list: JMAP ( https://jmap.io/ ) has namespaces too.

The existing JMAP bridge is broken. But it would cool if 'IMAP API' used JMAP instead of coming up with its own protocol. (Which covers a very similar feature set than JMAP) This would allow you to use the api with any JMAP client

Two issues here: Models like these existed. Flattr and Liberapay. The latter had to switch away from the pooling model because turns out when you do the pooling you essentially become a bank and that’s difficult to do legally. Those models

The problem JMAP is addressing is quite complex that’s why the JMAP spec is long. I do not however find it to be bloated. On the contrary I actually found it quite easy to read. (I've implemented jmap-mail on the client side.) One coul
