I just learnt that the purism libre 5 SMS client does both SMS and XMPP

mathieui: you mean chatty?

idk

maybe

It does xmpp yes... but with the pidgin library... I wanted to try it but I can't compile it on my machine...

yeah, it uses libpurple

of all things.

jonas’: did you test it?

Their marketing seems to mostly talk about their Matrix client tho

The responsible developer was at the Düsseldorf sprint a while ago. But IIRC they shifted focus or abandoned the project in other ways shortly after that.

There is much community value in having a primary client for an ecosystem, that's easy to rebrand
