Monal IM: Insights into Monal Development

TLDR:

_Info: Monal will stop support for iOS 12, iOS 13 and macOS Catalina!

We are searching for a SwiftUI developer.

We need a new simplified website.

With better continuous funding, our push servers will move from the US to Europe.

We have a new support mail: info@monal-im.org_

Two years ago we decided to rewrite the Monal app almost entirely and improve it gradually in the process, instead of creating another XMPP Client for iOS and macOS. We suc … ⌘ Read more

JMP: Why Bidirectional Gateways Matter
A big part of the vision of Sopranica, and Cheogram in particular, is bidirectional gateways.  A bidirectional gateway is one that allows (at a minimum) any user of either protocol to contact any user of the other protocol without creating an account.  This is not possible with all protocols, but works well when both sides are federated.

Take for instance sip.cheogram.com, which is a bidirectional gateway between XMPP and SIP.  Any … ⌘ Read more
