New company "new" projects
I love classic IM apps, and I want to give the macOS instant messaging app "Adium" a complete rejuvenation for Apple Silicon because it's last update was over 5 years ago and I've needed a good XMPP client for Mac because I've started using it. But almost the WHOLE. THING. is written in Objective-C, containing no Swift code whatsoever. It's so old, it still has growl (old 3rd party macOS notification system before Apple introduced native notifications) within it. And I know that doing so would be very, very difficult.

9-year GV veteran switches to Google Messages
I'm a fairly accomplished open-source software developer, and I might try to write a Pidgin plugin (à la purple-hangouts, but for “native” GV) to make the desktop experience suck less.

Classic Hangouts no longer works with Google Voice or Fi - 9to5Google
Still working for me, via hangouts.google.com, via Gmail widget, via Pidgin plugin (github.com/EionRobb/purple-hangouts), and via Android Hangouts app (both old and new versions).

Pidgin: Pidgin, the Universal Chat Client
Still works well through https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-hangouts. (I'm only using that through bitlbee-purple, not via Pidgin, but that should be largely irrelevant.)
