Dino
User-friendly and secure instant messaging based on XMPP
Dino is an open-source messaging application. It uses XMPP as an underlying protocol, which allows federated, provider-independent communication and offers a world-wide network of interconnected servers. Dino aims to be secure and privacy-friendly while at the same time offering a good user experience and a modern feature set.
This project is about adding various additional usability and privacy features such as Message moderation in groupchats (XEP-0425), message deletion (XEP-0424) and local message deletion, improved password handling and connection establishment via SASL2 (XEP-0388), Bind2 (XEP-0386), FAST (XEP-484) and storing secrets in the system keyring, improved file transfers including sending multiple images in the same message via Stateless File Sharing (XEP-0447), improving the UX in MUCs by using more efficient protocols like MUC Affiliation Versioning (XEP-0463) and by making further use of occupant IDs (XEP-0421) in the context of message correction and message deletion. It will also extending support of message formatting via Message Markup (XEP-0394).
