This looks really interesting. I'd like to see it as a more open platform and not just for telegram.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why people have seemingly abandoned vanilla XMPP. It's a great, flexible, powerful, and yes standard and open, protocol.

This should probably not be a Show HN. From the guidelines[0]:

As far as I can tell, there's not a real product here we can try yet.

Jaconda.im started as XMPP-based messenger hence the name – Jabber Conference derivative. And it does work with XMPP. Nothing changed in this regard.

However after Google Talk was replaced with proprietary Hangouts protocol we had to look for other options.

Telegram fits our concept just right. Let's see what other people think. You are welcome to participate.

We use it internally right now and plan to invite new teams in batches. It has rough angles and we polish it before the public launch.

I assume it's because not every server (most notably: google's) support the XEP for offline messages, and having to always keep a connection to the remote server is mobile/battery-unfriendly.

All these newfangled alternatives usually rely on the Google services' push notifications api afaik.

Looks cool :) I hadn't heard of Telegram before, so I'll have to check this out. One note is that to me "Over a 100 of integrations" reads very strangely and should be "Over a hundred integrations." Perhaps that's just my preference though.

It's not just you, "over a one hundred of integrations" is not grammatical.
