Tox IM support (chat, voip) [duplicate]
asked 2014-08-31 15:18:41 +0200
It would be great if Jolla could support Tox IM out of the box. Tox IM appears to be a good decentralized, fully encrypted IM (and VoIP!) protocol -- and Jolla could really use something better than gtalk/xmpp (since the future of this is very uncertain) and facebook... federated jabber is kind of nice, but not a huge win privacy-wise, and not very user-friendly either. See also http://www.tox.im/
Of course, fully functional would be best (including file transfers and most importantly VoIP and video calls). In the interim, having at least the text chat (possibly through telepathy-haze + tox-prpl) would be nice.
As far as I know TOX isn't ready yet. It works but is still buggy. It would be great however if Sailfish would integrate it into it's system as soon as it is ready...
Btw: Doesn't it look like a double question?

But I agree that system-level would be much, much better. :)

nthn ( 2014-08-31 21:02:05 +0200 )editNot XMPP in general, but gtalk/xmpp (i.e. not the normal federated jabber out there). Hangouts supposedly won't have an XMPP interface anymore, so when gtalk is finally retired in favour of hangouts, a huge number of people are going to drop off the XMPP radar. (PS: That is, about 95 % of my current jabber contact list.)
