Do you think that it’s possible to build a web service to chat compatible with email , xmpp and matrix?
(and why not even with activityPub or rocketChat ?? )

    I think Matrix has bridges to all these networks, except ActivityPub (it may, I just don’t know).

      That’s right, but it’s not activated by default. And it’s not easy at all.

      I tried for myself but that require that I configure bridge for the server, then for each room, with some strange /command I have to remember.

      When I think of a service I mean a service that anyone can use, even the no tech guys.
      It’s nice that it’s technically possible, though! :)

      The biggest part of the question is more a UI/UX question then a technical one actually.

          How can they make a closed source fork of an open source (Apache-2.0) project?

          Hi :) yes I did. And I tried. 🙂

          It’s a great multi protocol app. But you cannot chat in the same conversation with two different protocol. :/

          And there is no xmpp support.

          Even for the matrix federation it was possible only with the desktop app.

          So that’s not that I looking for.
