On that note… #Prav is offering 20,000 INR (212 USD, or 181 EUR) to anyone who can implement a particular feature for them.
The Org
Prāv (website, Fedi - @prav ) is a fork of Quicksy.im run by #FreeSoftware activists, which provides an #XMPP service and branded apps to make it easy to bring non-geeks to XMPP.
Prāv is a #cooperative, which means anyone can become a member and take part in the project governance and decision-making. It’s the ultimate form of putting users and workers in control!
If you want to defeat #capitalism, it’s important to support cooperatives like Prāv instead of privately-owned hierarchical companies and organizations.
The Task
Prāv uses phone numbers for easy registration and contact discovery. As with Quicksy, the phone number becomes part of the user’s XMPP address. This means the user’s phone number is visible to channel admins and to anyone the user adds as a contact.
The task is to modify the clients to let users enter a username which will be used for their XMPP address instead. This way, phone numbers will continue to be used for easy registration and contact discovery, without revealing the phone number to other users.
No other XMPP client or service has this functionality yet! 🙂 Go check out their Codeberg repository. https://codeberg.org/prav
