Hi all,
We need your help! In our experience, onboarding iOS users to XMPP is inconvenient right now compared to Android - there is no Quicksy-like phone number/SMS OTP sign up. Developing a convenient and easy-to-onboard XMPP iOS app is one of our top priorities.
Help us and the whole XMPP ecosystem by contributing to the Prav iOS app fundraiser at the following link 👉 https://opencollective.com/prav-ios. Prav iOS app will be Free/Libre Software[1] following our track record of transparency and privacy.
Due to network effects, a messaging app is not just a personal choice and even a single contact of yours having iOS can affect wider adoption of XMPP (we also don't like Apple but we feel this is an essential step for adoption of XMPP by people outside the Free Software circles).
Remember that whatever be the amount, every donation counts :-)
