  • dino

    Modern XMPP ("Jabber") Chat Client using GTK+/Vala (by dino)

    Project mention: Instant Messaging: XMPP or Websocket | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2022-11-05

    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.

  • igdm

    Desktop application for Instagram DMs

    Project mention: Show HN: Doc Converter – Convert PDF docs to Word documents on your computer | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-26

    I can see how the "Buy Now" text could be misleading. Tbh, that's just the default text that comes with the Paypal button, and it wasn't deliberated crafted that way to mislead buyers. I'll roll out an update to make it more explicit.

    > there don't seem to be any substantive further improvements planned

    About that, the truth is, it often starts with a use-case as simple as "convert PDF to Word". Improvements usually would come from user feedback, and continuous maintenance. While I deliberately started out to keep the App simple, there's a good chance that features and functionality would expand when user feedback gets in the mix.

    I'm saying this from my experience with maintaining IGdm (https://github.com/igdmapps/igdm)

  • messaging-apis

    Project mention: Advice on creating an API that copies tweets from certain accounts and sends the text via email, whatsapp, discord, etc. | reddit.com/r/AskProgramming | 2022-12-12

  • MessengerKit

    Project mention: No systray icon on flatpak release. | reddit.com/r/ferdium | 2023-02-06

    I don't have systray icon at all. Any ideas, if maybe I'm missing some setting or an argument to pass to ferdium at launch? I've found a rather old bug report about it, but it says it 'should be fixed in 6.1', which is kinda ancient now.
