    it would be great if open source solutions like Telegram, Signal and Matrix (and others) would all interoperate. I work on Matrix ( https://matrix,.org ) but I don't really care wh…

    What if there was a free, interoperable protocol that could connect anything to anything? That's what we are trying to achieve with Matrix ( https://matrix.org ) - making apps conn…

    You can't. Bridging necessarily means least common denominator for features. But any matrix client should support the features listed in the spec.

    Thanks! Vector ( http://vector.im ) has had a lot of UI/UX focus - but the nice thing with Matrix is that it enables you to pick the type of app/client that you like - and whether …

    hi - it's not normally this slow - and the slightly increased traffic due to the comment above shouldn't have caused it. We're looking into it! and thanks for trying it out :) edit…

    but there are alternatives! https://matrix.org is an open standard defining a communication protocol. The goal is to have an open ecosystem where any app can talk to any other app.…

    that's exactly what https://matrix.org is trying to do!

    I agree. We're building https://matrix.org (a free and open communication protocol) and we've realised that until we have a client with better UX than proprietary offerings, people…

    Hey, have you looked at https://matrix.org ? If you build on us, you don't have to fear ever being cut off - we're completely open source and free! We do also have a slack-bridge, …

    did you ever come across matrix.org? We are similar to mattermost in that we are open source and you can host your own server.

    it's a real shame - both facebook and google tried to use XMPP but have since removed support.

    IRC is great, and I'm sure it could be great for non-geeks too! When we started working on Matrix (matrix.org) we based a lot of the messaging/chat side of things on the features w…

    Hi Duncan - another option is matrix.org - we're similar to XMPP although at the same time different: Matrix is effectively an eventually consistent DB with open federation and pub…

    OK let me try to explain it better: let's say we have a conversation between 3 friends who are all running their own homeservers to connect to matrix. All three servers will keep a…

    There is another option - matrix.org is a new open standard for real-time communication (with encryption) in an open, federated ecosystem. That means you can run your own server an…

    That would be one way to do it :) Problems with SIP: * There are so multiple SIP standards (e.g. rfc 3261 vs rfc 2543) * It doesn't support NAT (unless you do rfc5626, rfc5627 and …
