In XMPP: The secure communication protocol that respects privacy
Damn React is complicated. I added Dark mode in my app in a few lines of CSS (https://github.com/movim/movim/blob/master/public/theme/css/...) and used the variables across the whole code. I just have to toggle a class on the body and boom, it works. Guys, you don't need all that JS, seriously. It's slow, it's useless most of the time. And in the end you have to spend hours for something so simple. Theming the colors of your website is the role of one tech: CSS. That's it, you don't needs layers and layers of Javascript to change that. Let's go back to server side rendering, a bit of HTML + CSS and JS and we're done.
In The Quest for the Perfect Dark Mode (Gatsby/React)
XMPP is a lot like email. There is no money in it and it has warts simply due to the fact that it is a widely implemented standard. You use it mostly because it is a well developed standard with lots of support. I don't know what it would mean for it to become "popular". How would you tell? All you can know is what your friends are using. An IM protocol is a silo... There is a lot of interesting XMPP stuff happening right now with respect to the currently hot topic of privacy which could affect XMPP popularity. There are over a hundred known public XMPP servers last I looked. Due to Let's Encrypt those servers are now encrypting the server to server and client to server links in a meaningful way. The encryption from Signal has been integrated into XMPP with OMEMO. This suddenly makes XMPP a lot more interesting in terms of privacy. The cl

ients are mostly moving to OMEMO end to end encryption which as a nice bonus eliminates the user awkwardness with the last thing (OTR): * https://omemo.top/ End to end encryption is basically impossible to do properly with a web client.

In Movim 0.16 – A federated web-based social XMPP client
What bothers me the most with the current on-premises chat solutions is the lack of a true alternative for jabber/xmpp with OTR (or equivalent e2e encryption) support. I honestly hate that in 2018 there is no way to move away from Pidgin/Adium if you want to keep this functionality. - RocketChat - OTR breaks very easily, and https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/10094 has been open for months - Matrix / Riot - Last I tried it had the most complex and unusable interface - Mattermost - At first glance seems to include E2E, but when reading a little bit more...not really, just at rest encryption - https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-669 - Zulip - nop - https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/6096 - Movim - nop - https://github.com/movim/movim/issues/63 ...
