Ask HN: Why isn't JSON-RPC more widely adopted?
So funny you say this. I think it's the insight of many developers including my own. I hacked together a framework that did this before the existence of GRPC. Now I'm trying to formalise it as a protocol. https://github.com/micro/network/blob/main/PROTOCOL.md

More Instant Messaging Interoperability
Alright, let me throw my hat into this ring with a totally unfinished idea. I started working on a design for something called the Micro Communication Protocol (MUCP) [1]. It's a header based protocol that's transport agnostic and focuses on service-to-service communication. An early prototype existed in Micro [2] but I'm primarily focused on redesigning the protocol before re-implementing it. Micro was geared towards API first services but I'm looking to expand the scope and try to build a UI layer on top. Most of the protocols focused very much on communication between people but I think if you focus on service-to-service communication more broadly it opens up the avenue to all sorts of multiplayer collaboration.

Real World Micro Services
Yea like you're part of this club that has exclusive access to something, you contribute to it, deliver value, see it grow and then it's gone when you leave. It exists within a silo and for the better part of a decade that's really irked me but I haven't quite figured out how to solve for that problem beyond doing it in a shared open source repo and a shared platform. I think I the issue is it's bigger than any one person and you have to find a way to sell thousands of people on the idea. My starting point was code and now I wonder could I have approached this differently? Is there another path in which this would actually succeed? I'm still trying to figure it out and it's driving me crazy. Next I'll be writing a protocol no joke https://github.com/micro/network

Android Jabber App
AFAIK Conversations is one of the best, if not the best. On F-Droid it’s gratis, on Google Play it costs something.

Had no idea Conversations got spun off?

Jabber.org, the original XMPP IM service has migrated to Prosody IM
Conversations [1] is the best Android XMPP client I know. IIRC they pushed the adoption of OMEMO and implemented it first, before the desktop clients could catch up.

Chat app without undo or delete of messages
Maybe have a look at Briar or good old Jabber (XMPP) with OTR or OMEMO, e.g. implemented in Conversations.
