d-rine
Project to create an instant messenger that is free of requiring a phone number or requiring a specific program/app.
The spark and initiation of the project came when the instant messaging platform "Kik" started to fall and me realizing
that every other instant messenger available required a phone number.
I also came to the realization that even if I did switch to one of these "apps" that I would end up in the same loop as Kik.
Finding that Kik (and other apps) uses the XMPP protocol for back-end and seeing how reliable and distributed it is, I decided to run a XMPP server.
Unfortunately other programs and services seem to be getting worse and I have ultimately decided I should expand the project from just an instant messenger
service to other services as well. This way if something else goes wrong (like Kik) I will have my own service/program ready to go to fill in the gap.
