• Ask HN: Those who use an Android and macOS, how do you manage sync?

• Jitsi.org has started requiring authentication

  You already can, apart from some DHT and bootstrapping stuff. https://tox.chat/ https://jami.net/ I tried to like Jami, but it never worked right when I tried it. I didn't find a decent Android Tox client with video call, but it should work alright for text. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
