Hi there
What happened with the `XMPP as a social network` idea? I would love to
see a social network build on XMPP soon. There are a few projects yet:
* Jappix: Runs very well, but its a bit ugly / complicated for new
users and the theme is outdated (in my opinion) [1].
* Movim: Not so kick-ass as they described. Crashs very often (on my
own box) and there is no `easy` option to let (new) user register on my
own xmpp server [2].
* Onesocialweb is dead [3].
* Social Stream: The last commit was at Jun 5, 2014. And its written in
ruby [4].
* Buddycloud is nice, but its written in Java and Java has many
security risks [5].
So is `XMPP as a social network` a misuse of the xmpp `standard` / basic
idea?
Because I'm going to write an open-source social network based on XMPP
(mostly pubsub). Maybe in a nicer language (i.e. javascript /php (file
upload and so on) / python (django) ). It should have an activity flow,
like Social Stream [4], a Chat (w OTR support), like converse.js [6] and
thats all for now. It should be very basic and secure and more suitable
for people with less xmpp experience. That means, simple login / user
creation, simple posting (w maybe like / dislike) and post reading
(activity flow), chat w/o otr.
I don't know why the other projects are dead or `not working well` so I
hope you folks can give me tricks, hints & pitfalls if I should /
shouldn't launch the new project I mentioned above.
Thanks so far for your thoughts.
Cheers
Christian Homeyer
