Skymu

This is the official Discord server for Skymu. Skymu is a modern, open-source messaging client styled after classic versions of Skype, with themes for Skype 4, 5, 6, and 7. It supports multiple messaging protocols and services, including Discord, Matrix, Chat Completions, and Tox. So what does Skymu support, anyway? Here are some examples. Instant messaging: The pinnacle of text-based communication. Like Pidgin, Skymu supports multiple different messaging services in the form of protocol plugins. Unlike Pidgin, our plugin architecture was built from the ground up for modern protocols, with native support for message editing and deletion, server and channel structures, reply threading, asynchronous tasks, and modern authentication flows. Voice calling: A feature that gained Skype 300 million active users. The same plugins that connect Skymu to a specific service for messaging also do so with calling, something not supported by any multiprotocol client until now. You can chat up and call your Discord friends using Skymu's Discord plugin and have the entire experience look and work exactly like Skype did in the early 2010s. Windows XP and Vista: Steve Jobs' father told him that a great carpenter finishes the back of a cabinet beautifully, even though barely anyone will see it: the craftsman will always know it is there. In the same spirit, Skymu was made to be a native Windows program, not a web-based or Electron app, and is compatible with Windows Vista and above - but this wasn't quite enough for us, so we made a wrapper that allows Skymu to run on Windows XP SP3 (the minimum OS version of Skype 4.0+), fully functional. Skymu has a decently sized community, with more than 1,000 members on Discord. As Skymu is open-source software, many members of the community are also contributors to Skymu - if not to the code, then to ideas, testing, and design. We welcome anyone who enjoys Skymu, wants to learn about it, is thinking about adding a feature, or just wants to talk with some friendly people.
