There is also Matrix (matrix.org), an open standard for decentralized communications. Our goal is to let all apps talk to each other - including Slack, Mattermost, and Microsoft Teams! Check it out using any Matrix-enabled app: https:&#x2F

agreed! This is what we're trying to do with Matrix ( https://matrix.org )

it would be great if open source solutions like Telegram, Signal and Matrix (and others) would all interoperate. I work on Matrix ( https://matrix,.org ) but I don't really care which client you want to use - as long as we ca

There is Matrix ( https://matrix.org ) - we support messaging and VoIP via WebRTC. Currently we use Freeswitch for conferencing. Check out some clients here: https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-no

What if there was a free, interoperable protocol that could connect anything to anything? That's what we are trying to achieve with Matrix ( https://matrix.org ) - making apps connect either natively or via gateways/brid

by oddvar 11y ago
You can't. Bridging necessarily means least common denominator for features. But any matrix client should support the features listed in the spec.

Thanks! Vector ( http://vector.im ) has had a lot of UI/UX focus - but the nice thing with Matrix is that it enables you to pick the type of app/client that you like - and whether that's a web client like Vector, a

hi - it's not normally this slow - and the slightly increased traffic due to the comment above shouldn't have caused it. We're looking into it! and thanks for trying it out :) edit: AFAIK we've not been featured on produ

but there are alternatives! https://matrix.org is an open standard defining a communication protocol. The goal is to have an open ecosystem where any app can talk to any other app. You can talk to Matrix either natively - or via

cool! we should interoperate :) (we being https://matrix.org ) ps. your https://actor.im/platform page 404s

that's exactly what https://matrix.org is trying to do!

by oddvar 11y ago
I agree. We're building https://matrix.org (a free and open communication protocol) and we've realised that until we have a client with better UX than proprietary offerings, people just won't switch. We hope that

Hey, have you looked at https://matrix.org ? If you build on us, you don't have to fear ever being cut off - we're completely open source and free! We do also have a slack-bridge, and we're building more bridges -

by oddvar 11y ago
did you ever come across matrix.org? We are similar to mattermost in that we are open source and you can host your own server.

it's a real shame - both facebook and google tried to use XMPP but have since removed support.

IRC is great, and I'm sure it could be great for non-geeks too! When we started working on Matrix (matrix.org) we based a lot of the messaging/chat side of things on the features we like (and the ones we miss!) from IRC, and now w

Please come ask any questions on https://matrix.org/beta/#/room/#matrix:matrix.org -- or #matrix on freenode which is bridged to the same matrix "room"! (disclaimer: I work on Matrix)

Hi there, I work on Matrix - please also feel free to come ask any questions on https://matrix.org/beta/#/room/#matrix:matrix.org -- or #matrix on freenode which is linked to the same matrix "room"!

Hi Duncan - another option is matrix.org - we're similar to XMPP although at the same time different: Matrix is effectively an eventually consistent DB with open federation and pubsub semantics - it's all about synchronising state

by oddvar 12y ago
I'd be interested as well

OK let me try to explain it better: let's say we have a conversation between 3 friends who are all running their own homeservers to connect to matrix. All three servers will keep a copy of the conversation, and if one server goes down

by oddvar 12y ago
There is another option - matrix.org is a new open standard for real-time communication (with encryption) in an open, federated ecosystem. That means you can run your own server and encrypt your own data, and the encrypted data can still be

The capability to get conversation history over several servers. In Matrix the conversation history is stored by all servers involved in the discussion, and thus it can be retrieved if your own server temporarily goes down. It will also be

That would be one way to do it :) Problems with SIP: * There are so multiple SIP standards (e.g. rfc 3261 vs rfc 2543) * It doesn't support NAT (unless you do rfc5626, rfc5627 and ICE) * Its support for ICE doesn't work well with

as per the FAQ: The initial goal of Matrix is to fix the fragmentation of VoIP and IM, but Matrix’s real potential and ultimate mission is to be a new and truly open ecosystem on the Internet enabling services, devices and people to easily

Just adding that this is very much the first few steps of this project - if you think it sounds interesting we would love feedback and comments on #matrix:matrix.org (via matrix.org) or #matrix on freenode!

hi tom! this is already available! if you click on a user and start a one-to-one conversation, there's a handy "Voice Call" button - try it in chrome!

The main issues with XMPP that drove us in this direction were: * Not particularly web-friendly – you can’t easily speak XMPP from a web browser. * Single server per MUC is a single point of control and availability * History synchronisatio
