jdev - 2026-02-06

Hey all. I assume anyone in here is also on standards@, but if not, I didn't so much code this as enthusiastically talk it into existence: https://github.com/dwd/Wimsy

It's only a week's work, so be kind, but feedback would be most welcome.

could use some screenshots, builds, building instructions :) always nice to have more clients though <3

CI has all the builds, or is meant to. Should be doing XEP-0368, but I've not got it doing SASL2 etc yet.

I keep wanting to vibe code a client but have been too busy working on my existing clients. Happy to see two vibe coded experiments in the last few weeks now

I don't see builds anywhere anyway, am I just missing them?

There's also https://dwd.github.io/Wimsy/

> I keep wanting to vibe code a client but have been too busy working on my existing clients. Happy to see two vibe coded experiments in the last few weeks now I managed to get distracted making a bridge to a platform i hate ↺

A bridge or a gateway? 😉

> A bridge or a gateway? 😉 at this point the terms confuse me ↺

its group <-> group bridging

not you log in and use it

moparisthebest, I think you may need to be signed into Github to see the artefacts, because I've not done a release yet, but: https://github.com/dwd/Wimsy/actions/runs/21761869791

moparisthebest, But as luca noets, there's also the Web build deployed in github pages.

And no, I didn't even write my own CI. :-)

ah yup can see there after logging in

>> A bridge or a gateway? 😉 > at this point the terms confuse me > its group <-> group bridging Does the group "exist" on both sides even if the bridge is down? Can they get out of sync? If so it's a bridge ↺

yes

its a bridge in that case

though i hope to figure out a way to make it able to resync the difference when it goes down

Well, you can cross that gateway when you come to it.

(I'll assume that got loads of laughing reactions, but I've not done those in Wimsy yet)

Gateway with no login can only be done if both sides are open systems. Like you could do it for matrix sort of. Though matrix rooms always exist and can even desync with themselves...

> Though matrix rooms always exist and can even desync with themselves... yeah thats kinda the problem

I think I could still make it happen but I need to study the matrix s2s protocol in detail and just haven't had time

why bother causing a DoS when it does a fine job DoS'ing itself?

moparisthebest, This easier for you? https://github.com/dwd/Wimsy/releases/tag/v0.0.1

dwd: out of curiosity, did you put the relevant XEPs into the agent's document base?

No, I didn't. I was expecting to need to first build an MCP server that could find XEPs and RFCs - a RAG-style engine - and I'm not sure if it doesn't need this because it can search the web well.

I did have to get snarky with it once when it wanted t implement the latency measuring (under the presence menu, weirdly) with XEP-0199, and snootily told me that XEP-0198 was unsuited. I explained I designed most of it and it backed down after that.
