Yes
Thanks for the confirmation. Do you know whether any of the other Adhearsion Foundation projects are still alive?
@strypey Adhearsion and all of its dependencies are still in use for several large projects, and is being used for new projects by the likes of @lpradovera, who is maintaining it, but it is not as active as it used to be.
Thanks for the info @benlangfeld
I've been considering moving to Mattermost for my private chat service platform.
There really doesn't seem to be a high level XMPP web ui available these days (I last did market research about 6 mo ago). Everything has weird UI/UX decisions or are dead as well.
@lkraav and anyone else interested, I am curating a list of web-based chat apps that are free code software, with the primary goal of helping people find self-hostable, user-respecting replacements for Slack, and figure out wich ones is most suitable for their use case. Any additions, corrections, and other feedback is most welcome: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Slack_Alternatives
For those particularly interested in federated systems, I encourage you to check out the Matrix federation protocol, which is a web-native alternative to XMPP, and potentially easier to write web clients for: https://matrix.org/faq/#what-is-the-difference-between-matrix-and-xmpp%3F
EDIT: updated links
@benlangfeld It might be helpful to add a prominent note at the top of the ReadMe file, so folks can see at a glance that this project is unmaintained.
I'm presuming from the long string of unanswered issues and the lack of commits to the code that this is a dead project? As such, I'm adding it to a list I of abandoned web-based chat software I maintain, in case the code is informative to active or new projects: https://www.coactivate.org/projects/disintermedia/slacking-off/
If I am wrong, and Candy is still being actively maintained, please let me know.
