Converse.JS Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• An actually private messaging self hosted server

  I agree. IMHO the best variant is then to use something that is truely free. Like XMPP.

• Matrix was worth the effort to self host.

  It is Converse.js (https://conversejs.org/) packaged into a one-click install for openfire (from the web admin). So, one-click install for an xmpp web client. Source: over 1 year ago

I am pretty happy with beagle (OSX) [2], Dino (Linux) [3] and Gajim (linux, windows, OSX) [4]. If in-browser is your thing, converse.js [5] or movim [6] come to mind. >What if I don't want to run my own XMPP server? Use quicksy.im?

• Jackal v0.54.1 Released – Go XMPP Server

  Following https://snikket.org/service/quickstart will get you a self-hosted XMPP running in minutes, with all modern messaging features you'd expect to be working out of the box. On iOS it works with Siskin, Monal and ChatSecure, but you're right that there are some rough edges on that platform.
