Hello fellow people of #Mastodon.

@Georgie @NicksWorld @ke7zum @cubic That's definitely in the works. The Mastodon stuff is in its own separate repo as development on that takes a while and has its own things that need implementing, and once its at a point where its not missing a lot of the crutial stuff then it will be merged into a single repo and worked on alongside this, and eventually the services section will be created and that's how the Mastodon service will be accessed.
@alexchapman @NicksWorld @ke7zum @cubic Sounds good. I wish Whatsapp also had a third-party API. It would be nice to have everything in one single app but I know that’s a pipe dream.

@FreakyFwoof @Georgie @NicksWorld @ke7zum @cubic Well, I didn't know about Miranda-NG until recently, so it was an idea taken from Windows Live Messenger lol.

@FreakyFwoof @Georgie @NicksWorld @ke7zum @cubic Yup, and that's basically what me and Stu are trying to do, bring back the good UIs but make it modern enough to run without any hacky shit on the latest systems.

@alexchapman @FreakyFwoof @Georgie @ke7zum @cubic I hope it grows into something gigantic. It's why I posted it as publically as possible. As for people seeing it, I don't know but there's no point in not trying.

@alexchapman presents.us @cubic Have you looked at Matrix as an integration possibility?
A native client with some degree of accessibility through a QT gui does exist, https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/releases
but this client would make usage dead simple.
And it is probably an easier path to desktop-to-mobile chat interoperability. -

@alexchapman @cubic And the only thing missing from most xmpp clients these days is proper threading/group support as it is. As it stands, https://prosody.im/ is an excellent lightweight serverside implementation

@alexchapman @cubic For another frame of reference, https://snikket.org/service/quickstart/ is more feature-complete out of the box.

Hello fellow people of #Mastodon. I have a fun program to share with all of you. Imagine, a messenger client a lot like how it was back in the early 2000's. Think simple buttons, totally screen reader #Accessible, servers that you can run yourselves, and all available for #Windows and #Linux users. If you're wanting something like this, consider Thrive messenger, created as an open-source program by my friends @alexchapman and @cubic If you like it, #Boost it far and wide. Let's support fellow Mastodonians. https://github.com/G4p-Studios/ThriveMessenger/releases/latest #SocialMedia
@NicksWorld @alexchapman @cubic not to shatter your dreams or anything, but most of the instant messengers required the screen reader to be scripted before they were properly usable by the blind.
AIM, ICQ, MSn (then Windows live), all had scripts or sets or maps for the screen readers. -

@alexchapman @cachondo @NicksWorld Then how have I been able to use MSN V 3.0 (2000) onwards without any scripts or accessibility mods? Same goes for AIM 5 and 6. You wanna talk ICQ? Yeah, that thing was an absolute accessibility shit fire from day one.
