Can I chat with Google Talk users from this?
You will first need an XMPP account but then you can add GTalk users to your roster and chat with them.
Is there a good mobile client to use with a xmpp serveR?
I'm curious how E2E encryption (OTR e.g.) could be implemented with a client like this (preferably without having the keys leaked all over the place), it's the only interesting feature I miss from a quick glance.
Unfortunately, this won't improve your security. The client code comes from the server, so you need to trust it anyway. While it is possible to implement OTR or PGP in the client, the server admin could poison the implementation code and leak your private keys.
Sure, but we have TLS for that. E2E is still needed to cover everything else (e.g., I trust the server now, but I don't want to have plain-text logs on it in case the feds seize it).
The UI feels like a 1 to 1 copy of the Slack client, or is Slacks UI so common now copying it is just using the Chat-UI standard?
Excellent work. Is there a reason why you chose Prosody over MongooseIM or ejabberd?
Thank you. We chose Prosody because it supports the XEP we needed and it was originally used by Otalk from which we forked.

The call is still open on end-to-end encryption over XMPP when multiple devices (or more than two parties) are involved.
I'm ONLY using Hangouts because they don't allow group messaging in any other client. I'd like to see that change!
I'm planning on setting this up for myself later today but a few questions before I do that: - Will this stay connected to my account and the history will be there if I close the tab / browser / computer in the meantime? - Is it possible to replace certain strings with images? This is not at all an important feature but just something I got used over the years. (Example: :string: replaced with image.png and displayed…
Using Message Carbons (XEP-0280) all of your active conversations will be synced to your Kaiwa client.
Haven't they heard about IRC (RFCs 1459, 2810–2813)?

How about hosting E2E js lib somewhere like on Github and include them there?
Or you can always map to local js files.
