<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi<br><br></div>I had started to use <a href="http://riot.im">riot.im</a> some weeks ago and it is a keeper for me. With all the hipsters using discord and slack, I wanted something open source that can it be at the same level, I found that riot (and using free service <a href="http://matrix.org">matrix.org</a>) was very good for me. I have some chat channels and some connected to IRC freenode. The chat bots are decent and easy enought to use. And with <a href="http://riot.im">riot.im</a> being available on Android, Windows, iOS and web I'm connected everytime. <br><br></div>It is a good idea. Right now Thunderbird chat function is very limited, slow and has a confusing GUI. Maybe some mix between riot and pidgin IM can be eventually think to improve the Thunderbird chat functions. <br><br></div>Regards<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 9:34 PM, Qwerty Chouskie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:asdfghrbljzmkd@outlook.com" target="_blank">asdfghrbljzmkd@outlook.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I keep thinking I should write some really good, convincing email, but I keep not doing it, so I'll just make it simple.<br>
<br>
Is there any chance of Thunderbird.next/TB:NG/<wbr>whateveritscalled having <a href="https://riot.im/" target="_blank">
riot.im</a> integration?<br>
<ul>
<li>It's open, privacy-friendly, etc. </li><li>It's well made </li><li>It's written using Web technologies (Javascript, etc), and runs in the browser
</li><li>It could ease the implementation of the chat component by providing a solid base, thus only needing to implement other protocols (IRC, XMPP, twitter, etc) on top of it
</li><li>It would make TB:NG <i>more than just another email client. It would be an email client+"Slack"+"Google Hangouts" all on one free, privacy-friendly, easy-to-use program.<br>
</i></li></ul>
I think <a href="http://riot.im" target="_blank">riot.im</a> integration could bring a lot to the table for both Thunderbird and <a href="http://roit.im" target="_blank">roit.im</a>. Thunderbird already sees a lot of corporate use, think of how much more it could see if it served the role of a email program
<i>and</i> a messaging program (Slack) <i>and</i> a voice/video communications program (Google Hangouts, Skype, etc). Less programs to keep up-to-date, less accounts to deal with, no messy EULAs to deal with, easier for everyone in the end.<br>
<br>
TB:NG would be more than just another email program, it would be an Free, privacy-friendly communications hub.<br>
