Otalk
What is it?
Otalk is an open source chat client powered by XMPP, stanza.io, and WebRTC. You can think of it as an open source alternative to Skype.
While we have a version hosted at https://otalk.im, you can still run your own private instance.
What's included?
Otalk comes with support for:
Message History Syncing
Using Message Archive Management (MAM, XEP-0313), your conversations can be archived by your server and pulled down by the Otalk client on demand.
Active Chat Syncing
Ever used multiple IM clients at once, or swapped clients, and end up with disjointed conversations? Using Message Carbons (XEP-0280 all of your active conversations will be synced to your Otalk client (and vice versa if you other clients support carbons too).
Reliable Connections
Sometimes you just lose your Internet connection, but with Stream Mangagement XEP-0198 your current session can be instantly resumed and caught up once you regain connection. Your messages will show as gray until they've been confirmed as received by your server.
Message Correction
Made a typo in a message? Using Message Correction XEP-0308 you can just double tap the up arrow to edit and send a corrected version. In other clients that support correction, your last message will be updated in place and marked as edited.
Timezone Indications
Working with someone in a different timezone? If the other person is using Otalk or another client that supports Entity Time (XEP-0202) you'll see a reminder that they're 9 hours away where it's 4am and they're not likely to respond.
