#2Never knew I needed that until it appeared on the HN front page.
On a more serious note, I can totally see the value this adds. Everything is so fragmented these days. Nice. Franz did something similar for chat, but never really took off, I'm afraid. Hopefully, those guys will fare better.

The problem with Franz is it's literally just a browser running each chat service in its own tab.
For anyone who's known and used well-integrated multi-protocol IMs like Pidgin or Trillian (or heck, any of the browser-based ones from the past), it's incredibly sad how far we've fallen.

#4Anyone know if this supports Nextcloud/WebDav? I can't seem to be able to tell from the website. That and a nice Linux version and I would use this in a heartbeat considering how all over the place things are these days.

#5Using cloud services is scary. But giving a cloud service full access to all my cloud services scares the * out of me. I’m a scared person.

I agree 100%.
That said, the need for something like this almost outweighs the cost. But I so agree w/ what you're saying. That was my first thought—uh—so. much. access.
Before I sign up, I'd want to know what's safe, where, and why.
And more realistically, why not.

I'm also to worried about giving full access to my emails but I don't think that makes me a scared person. I think wrorrying here is perfectly fine and understandable.

#8I'd use this if it was backed by full homomorphic encryption.

#9I used CloudMagic for this before their pivot.

Especially since my Trillian account is now ONLY for Trillian and a single client who uses XMPP for their chat.
Google Chat is gone, AIM is gone, Facebook Chat is gone. No one uses ICQ anymore, and even if they did, they are probably on my facebook or hangouts anyway. Its disappointing how every chat service went to a closed protocol model.
