<br>
What happened with the `XMPP as a social network` idea? I would love to see a social network build on XMPP soon. There are a few projects yet:<br>
* Jappix: Runs very well, but its a bit ugly / complicated for new users and the theme is outdated (in my opinion) [1].<br>
* Movim: Not so kick-ass as they described. Crashs very often (on my own box) and there is no `easy` option to let (new) user register on my own xmpp server [2].<br>
* Onesocialweb is dead [3].<br>
* Social Stream: The last commit was at Jun 5, 2014. And its written in ruby [4].<br>
* Buddycloud is nice, but its written in Java and Java has many security risks [5].<br>
<br>
So is `XMPP as a social network` a misuse of the xmpp `standard` / basic idea?<br>
<br>
Because I'm going to write an open-source social network based on XMPP (mostly pubsub). Maybe in a nicer language (i.e. javascript /php (file upload and so on) / python (django) ). It should have an activity flow, like Social Stream [4], a Chat (w OTR support), like converse.js [6] and thats all for now. It should be very basic and secure and more suitable for people with less xmpp experience. That means, simple login / user creation, simple posting (w maybe like / dislike) and post reading (activity flow), chat w/o otr.<br>
<br>
I don't know why the other projects are dead or `not working well` so I hope you folks can give me tricks, hints & pitfalls if I should / shouldn't launch the new project I mentioned above.<br>
<br>
Thanks so far for your thoughts.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
