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)

Convenience. And supporting modern standards (XEPs). It includes support for E2EE (OMEMO), history fetching and search, image and links preview. And stickers :)

    History fetching would require support from the server side I assume? I've never used stickers myself before, is that a common feature request?
