    Were there any flash/actionscript XMPP clients back in the day?

  2. moparisthebest

    If so, it might be time to resurrect them https://ruffle.rs/blog/2024/01/14/2023-in-review

    We had XIFF and SparkWeb I believe. Never used it.

    the NYT is a weird outlier in that one.

  9. moparisthebest

  12. moparisthebest

    it seems like it might actually work https://github.com/igniterealtime/Sparkweb / https://github.com/igniterealtime/XIFF

    Hey, have at it if you're interested. I'm sure the community is happy to promote you to project lead of all things flash. :)
