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.

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.

Interesting... Google Talk dropping XMPP was a dark day, but alas that's the nature of basing a business off Google services.

It's also great to hear that it started out using XMPP, maybe Jaconda can bring XMPP back by allowing discovery based on GitHub accounts :o

Are you aware that Google XMPP servers still support federation? (I tried just that the other week)

I don't see how you _had to_ look for other options

(still: I agree how looking at other options is the wise thing to do, given that Google+XMPP seems to be a -very- slowly sinking ship)

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.

Fixed, thank you! Btw, here is how commit looks like in telegram: http://d.pr/i/an9I

"Over a hundred of Integrations" is still off. Try "More than 100 integrations" or "Over a hundred integrations" or even "Over 100 integrations".

I think the last one is snappiest.

This should probably not be a Show HN. From the guidelines[0]: > Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread. As far as I can tell, there's not a real product here we can try yet. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

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 understand. But it's not a suitable Show HN post. Show HN is designed for something that we can try out now.

We are using it ourselves as both XMPP and Telegram messenger. But the truth is, we are not planning to develop a stand-alone messenger. XMPP messengers are slowly sinking and Telegram looks like a nicer alternative. Especially considering Telegram's team showing interest in our project.

>"XMPP messengers are slowly sinking" I'm sure telegram is a good choice for your company, but "XMPP messengers are slowly sinking", I think, is a silly statement.
