Fast-link to web based client

[sjehuda]

Clients: Candy, Converse.js, JabberWebChat (JWChat), JSXC, Kaiwa, Movim, Speeqe, XMPP Web (1, 2)

We could link https://conversejs.org/fullscreen.html or https://inverse.chat/ where you can login with any account on any server.

Web-admins will be able to choose a web based client of their choice and enable it, if they choose so.

Configuration file might be as follows:

// If URL set, display button for web client
{client-web: URL}

Clickable text: "Web clients" "Looking for web based clients?" "Try XMPP without installing" "XMPP inside your browser"

Upon click (using event onclick), the current selection will be replaced by web clients.

I've got thiis error for the following code. I've checked the JS code and it works when replacing "#webui > a" by something else (e.g. "body") or when locating the code somewhere else than function load_done().

Error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of null
    at load_done (main.js:170)
    at HTMLDocument.document.onreadystatechange (main.js:180)

index.html

  <p class="lead text-center" id="clients"></p>
+ <p class="lead text-center" id="webui"></p>
  <p class="lead text-center" id="recommend"></p>

en.json

  "webui": "You can also access from a <a>web client</a> (no installation).",

clients_Web.json

main.js

document.querySelector("#webui > a").addEventListener("click", function() {
    for (const item of document.querySelectorAll("#client_list > div")) {
        item.remove()
    }
    load_clients("clients_Web.json");
});

@Perflyst @licaon-kter please help me here.

I don't know what to do in this case of UI design.

• If we present possible web clients to install: 1) This is a matter for web administrators, not new users; 2) I'm adding more text ("You can also access from a web client (no installation).").

• If we present a single link to an instance: 1) Make it customizable; 2) Where should we place it?

@strugee

I was just looking at your #1 and #2 PRs. Thank you for your work.

I'd be pleased if you'd kindly look into the recent issues we have posted here. It seems that we are heading to a complete refinement of the current design.
