You're totally right, the problem is with e2ee, and it is so by design. Great answer, thanks a lot

Oh, many people around me have them! I didn't consider the server could be the problem. Using Dino on the computer and Conversations on the phone, the are usually problems either with sync or more frequently with de-encrypting

Wow, this looks great! Thank you!! I didn't know Conversations was getting an UI overhaul, lets see it

The client-sync issue, also with encryption, wouldn't get solved with these news, right??

I believe that XMPP is one of the best protocols for chat communications there is, and I stand up for it. However, the clients that there are, are not comfortable for most people out there used to apps like Telegram, Whatsapp or whatever.

One can defend current XMPP clients saying that quoting with "> " is the traditional way, or that swiping to quote a message is not worth developing; I have plenty more examples like this.
Well, if you think so, OK, use those clients for yourself, but become aware that many people won't use XMPP for just this reason.

After saying all this, I want to tell that I am willing to develop a new, modern looking and comfortable client for XMPP. I think of a client for Android in first instance, but I would have no problem on going further.

However, I don't know programming, so I'm searching programmers who would like to get involved in this.
Although I'm not programmer, I have experience developing software projects, from internationalization to documentation, including ideas about features, testing and all other work there can be.

Will you help me spreading the word? :)
