Hi. I work on an integrated IM solution but it is a long hard road with a lot of issues. The goal is definitely doable and BlackBerry Hub proved that even despite of the internet services becoming completely different nowadays (Facebook, Google and some other services are no longer support XMPP; some service providers even ban users of third-party clients).
In the current era of proprietary IM services such integrated solution has a chance to prove itself with open protocols such as Matrix, Telegram (MTProto), XMPP, Tox, Slack, IRC, SIP (reSIProcate), Gitter, Rocket.Chat, Signal, Discord and so on. For sure the list can meet the demands of some users.
Namely I work on the Telepathy project. It is very complex and need a lot of manpower to come back. Contribution is very welcome, but frankly speaking the project seems to have some hard issues that require a full understanding of the specification and implementation limits.
We have some progress and we're going to release initial Telegram and Matrix support in a month or two. After this release our small team will back to work on TelepathyQt, spec, group chat, other protocols support and so on, but without more developers I would not expect a usable 'messaging hub' to be released in the next two years.
Don't know if raindrop is related to BB10:s hub, but there you have a nicely implemented one. Very effective to handle communications with.
