Just "released" the first usable version of #Convo, an #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS and #JioPhone feature phones! :xmpp:

git.disroot.org/badrihippo/con…

I was hoping to release a more complete version as 1.0, but that's taking a while, and people are already starting to use it as it is (especially with the impending shuttering of #WhatsApp on KaiOS) so I decided to get this out right away 📦

I've also submitted to the #BananaStore, so hopefully it should be out there soon 🍌

Screenshot of the Convo app running on KaiOS, listing various open conversations. Visible chats (with truncated titles) are: Convo - XMPP messaging; Prav - Reclaiming choice, and Friend; JoinJabber General Chat.
New chat screen on Convo, showing tabs for "Contacts" and "Group chats". To avoid exposing actual contacts' names without their consent, the names in this screenshot are modified to the fictional "Ned", "Lad Lysa", "ed" and "BRAN"
Screenshot of an open conversation in Convo. The conversation so far is the action "badrihippo-alt joins the room once again" followed by a message saying "Looks like we also need to add support for opening links". A profile picture is shown next to the actions and message bubbles, but in this case that "picture" is just an alphabet
The Convo splash screen, which is basically an iconified XMPP logo in purple, inside a white speech bubble, on a purple background.
