Because free software is also about accessibility, I'm doing some important work in Movim to ensure that the user interface can be navigated using the keyboard only. ♥️

This work also involves proper labeling and description of the page elements for people with visual impairments. 💬

This side project is supported by @nlnet. Thanks to them for making Movim an even better communication platform for everyone. ✨

Or #Jabber/#XMPP, which goes encrypted by default on modern clients. Or Briar. Or Matrix.

New blog post! Some heartwarming news from the slidge community: the family is growing.

Ihr trefft Ostern eure Familien? Das ist ja klasse! Ostersonntag fällt dieses Jahr auf den Digital Independence Day.

Bittet eure Familie doch einfach, sich jetzt bereits die App #Conversations_im zu sichern. Ostern könnt ihr sie dann mit ihnen einrichten.

Alternativ gebt ihr ihnen eine Anleitung: https://imday.de/

Due to the recent popularity of #Conversations_im, I've already earned more than enough money this month and have decided to make the app free this week. Use this opportunity to onboard friends who might otherwise have a hard time paying for the app

For Twisted/XMPP developers: I've published Tx-XMPP, a (friendly) fork of Wokkel due to it being unmaintained for years. I've merged several PRs that I needed, along with code from `sat_tmp`, which was a "temporary" package to monkey-patch Wokkel to add those changes (finally not needed anymore after 11+ years!).

https://pypi.org/project/tx-xmpp/

I will provide minimal maintenance to keep it up-to-date with the latest versions of Twisted and Python.

I happen to use #Jabber/#XMPP for both use cases.

It all started for me ≈ 2014 with a third use case: The "small town": We needed a chat for my development team, so we "sudo apt install prosody" and later let join the whole company (30..40 people).

You can find larger group chats here:

https://search.jabber.network/ (thanks, @sjn)

But I'm also in IRC channels via the #biboumi gateway and in Matrix rooms via #slige by @nicoco.

i am still searching for the right #messenger for my communities! It has to be #SelfHostable and #foss

Use Case "City"
– big groups (100 to open end) with persons i don't know. In the moment this function is served by #telegram

Use Case "Garden"
– personal contact with persons i know. Small groups like friends and family. In the moment this function is served by #signal

it is #matrix? DeltaChat? #XMPP? something else?

Since my new XMPP upload server implementation "Rusty Filer" has been working great on trashserver.net since two weeks, I present to you:

The first release of Rusty Filer! https://codeberg.org/thomas.leister/rusty-filer/releases/tag/v1.0.0 🥳

It has the same features as Prosody Filer, but it also available as a deb package and via a apt repository (for simple deployment and automatic updates!).

If you run into any issues using this server, let me know in the Codeberg issues.

A tiny but very useful feature has been added in Movim today: you can now swipe to reply! ✨

And thanks a lot for your support, the yearly project costs has almost been covered 😁! And if you want to support me, everything is on the main website https://movim.eu/#fund

Enjoy ♥️!

(I also heard that there might be a Movim release in the upcoming weeks 👀)

I was a bit silent the past few days. It's because I was focusing on improving and fixing many features related to Spaces in Movim 😁

Notifications and message counter are now correctly working in Spaces 🔔✨ Some other issues, related to performances and navigation were also fixed along the way 👀

There is also a totally new flow when adding a chatroom or answering an invite. Movim will try to know if the room you are joining is valid and gives you hints about it before adding it to your bookmarks ℹ️

I'm planning a new release in the upcoming weeks with all those exciting new features in it 😉

Enjoy!

Working on a proof-of-concept bridge from #DMR SMS to #XMPP chat and vice-versa.

Below demo uses a Hytera HP785 DMR radio and a PinePhone with Dino as messenger software.

Still have alot to learn about XMPP and various XEP (protocol extensions).

Something @larma and I have been working on during the #IETF125 Hackathon in Shenzhen:

Dino (@dino) and #Conversations_im can now give you a little warning if it's currently the middle of the night for the contact you are chatting with.

Yesterday, I quickly put together a tutorial on how to replace ntfy.sh with a minimal, self-hosted XMPP server and published it as a GitHub Gist. Then I remembered I have a website and reworked it into two nice little posts:
https://gultsch.de/tags/ntfy.sh/

#ntfy #XMPP #Jabber #Prosody

Did you know that most Android #XMPP apps also work as a #UnifiedPush distributor and thus can easily replace apps like #ntfy (recently became vibe-coded) for this? Find our tutorial here: https://joinjabber.org/tutorials/service/unifiedpush/
