   #XMPP needs a client that looks and feels like MSN Messenger.

     Forget catching up with mobile trends on the desktop, give me the ultimate in 2003 messaging UI experience.
     
     I'm serious.

     @Canageek I wouldn't mind it supporting other stuff like Pidgin/Miranda, yeah! But XMPP is my focus because its lacking of good IMs and the ones that are around keep trying to pretend they're a mobile app.

     @debacle MSN Messenger's protocol has been reverse engineered and a server is up now, so you can check it out for yourself! :blobcat:

     The protocol predates the Snowden whistleblowing tho so none of it is encrypted - do not use it for anything important.

     I never used MSN Messenger, not even in 2003. What did it look and feel like?

     @Canageek Pidgin kind of declined in recent years. Maybe things changed, I'll have to re-check. Mostly its support of OMEMO was either missing or behind.
     
     It was never a clone of MSN Messenger UI, it just used the conventional UI design for the time.

     @Polychrome did pigeon stop supporting xmpp or something? Or did it stop looking like a clone of MSN messenger?

     it's what I switched from MSN Messenger to in like 2007 but I stopped using when I stopped using MSN Messenger and Google talk as my main instant messengers

     @debacle I considered doing it but so much has changed behind the scenes in Gajim that forking the original UI before it got messed up into... whatever it is now is going to take a lot of work.

     @Polychrome

     From the screen shots, it looks a bit like #Gajim before version 1, i.e. 0.16.8. Maybe you use that or you can fork from it? 🙂

     Or how about #Swift?
