🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

psi-plus-webkit

That's it. That's the whole thing. No flags, no drama, just run it 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so Psi IM is a genuinely capable XMPP client, and it's aimed at experienced users — like, people who already know what they're doing. Its design goals are literally just simplicity and stability, which?? iconic?? Psi IM is highly portable and runs on MS Windows, GNU/Linux and macOS 🌈

Psi IM is minimal but powerful — the way it gives both 💅 There are keybindings for just about everything, Unicode is supported throughout, and contacts are cached offline. Security is also a major consideration, and Psi IM provides it for both client-to-server (TLS) and client-to-client (GnuPG, OTR, OMEMO). no cap, it's secure fr fr 🔥

Now, the WebKit version of Psi IM has a few additional features compared to the basic version of Psi:

  • support of animated emoticons 🥰
  • support of (adium) themes in private chats and group chats
  • support of previewing of images and videos in private chats and group chats
  • etc.

But if you prefer old fashioned plain text chats from era of IRC heyday, then the basic version of Psi IM is your obvious choice. respect either way 🫶

Also, quick history moment because it's lowkey fascinating: in 2009 a Psi IM fork named Psi+ was started. Project purposes are: implementation of new features, writing of patches and plugins for transferring them to upstream. As of 2017 all active Psi+ developers have become official Psi IM developers, but Psi+ still has a number of unique features. From developers point of view Psi+ is just a development branch of Psi IM which is hosted at separate git repositories and for which rolling release development model is used. it's giving main character energy honestly ⭐
