Hey all I'm working on writing an XMPP client and just doing some casual research. What would you say makes a client better than others? Cross platform? Native/web client?

I'm trying to decide if I focus on just a desktop client - which would reduce the scope, but it might be better to focus on a something more web based (I.e electron)

@Matty_r@programming.devFor me that's stability and features, secondary to the technical background. So electron based or based on the snikket-sdk / borogove or something totally native.. Idk.Some people are missing a desktop client for Windows that can do Calls. I would think something bloated like electron based that can do that is preferable to nothing (or to the abandoned dino fork).So go for whatever makes you feels good.
