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 ?? )
[exemple and why in the post...]
> Beeper Clients
> Native iOS and Android clients (closed source forks of Element iOS and Android)
> Mac OS, Windows and Linux clients (closed source forks of Element Web/Desktop)
How can they make a closed source fork of an open source (Apache-2.0) project?
Oh damn, I always thought Apache2.0 will protect also the derivative works, but apparently I was wrong:

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.
