What is Snikket?
Snikket is an ambitious project to build a new kind of XMPP-based messaging platform. Snikket aims to:
- Provide an XMPP client for every major platform, with each client having consistent branding, terminology, and features.
- Provide a simple XMPP service that is easy to deploy and maintain, and provides all the necessary features for Snikket clients out of the box.
The primary use case for Snikket currently is secure personal messaging. That is, we are aiming to provide an open alternative to proprietary messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, and Telegram.
Snikket is currently not aiming to be a replacement for enterprise/team chat solutions such as Slack, Discord, RocketChat or Mattermost. This may change in the future as resources allow, but right now we want to focus on doing one thing and doing it well.
Comments and Reviews
Probably the best cross-platform mobile XMPP app I've used to date. The UI needs work and it's missing a useful feature or two, but definitely one of the few solid mobile XMPP apps available
