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/whateveritscalled having <a href="https://riot.im/">
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 riot.im integration could bring a lot to the table for both Thunderbird and roit.im. 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>
