See this... I think we should do something similar...

Paganini: WA bumped to 100Mb? It was 16Mb at some point

Only a couple of weeks ago their help pages said 16MB

I know because I checked when someone complained about Snikket's upload limit

not everything is applicable here, but a comparison might help potential users to get a good overview of XMPP features

it could also help when outdated assumptions about xmpp are stated somewhere :)

WhatsApp limit is 16MB for images/videos and 100MB for "documents"

Make sense of that

try to compress video to 16 mb > fail > send as document?

Accoridng to docs it shows a UI that allows you to trim the video

I’m impressed by Telegram’s file size limit, but then again, some xmpp services allow the same size :)

> not everything is applicable here, but a comparison might help potential users to get a good overview of XMPP features That's exactly what I think.

> I’m impressed by Telegram’s file size limit, but then again, some xmpp services allow the same size :) Have you ever heard about 404.city? https://404.city/ They claim to allow 2Gb file size limit. I will create a xmpp account on 404.city and check it this afternoon.

Paganini, yes I did, and since every provider can set arbitrary limits, this is indeed possible

We should make a banner like the one I shared here, comparing XMPP with WharsApp and Telegram. Or two banners: one comparing XMPP with WhatsApp and the other comparing XMPP with Telegram. Don't you agree? Then we will share the banners on social networks, etc. That's what the Telegram folks are doing...

Go for it

wurstsalat, Paganini: I'm working on a XMPP file sharing component that has no limit, the idea is to implement per user quota instead of per-file limit.
