  • xmpp

    An implementation of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) in Go.

  • Some xmpp servers allow a websocket connection (the conversejs client can make use of that, as an example). Converse is pretty flexible by plugin if go isn't a hard requirement. Alternatively, take a look at the mellium library (https://github.com/mellium/xmpp) if you are going the direction of xmpp development in go.

  • Conversations

    Conversations is an open source XMPP/Jabber client for Android

  • So XMPP is an awesome protocol in theory. Also many issues you're trying to solve are probably already solved in one of the specifications and I personally think that XMPP is missing out on clients. Some clients are nice (i.e. Conversations or Dino) but they are not as appealing as Telegram or Discord.
