I am excited by this project and so are a few people I showed it to.

I have 3 or 4 of these messengers open at any given time. Resource consumption has never been an issue for me - needing to have multiple "talk to people" windows/programs for what I consider the same task annoys me every single day.

Tried Movim https://movim.eu/ ?

Electron

Pidgin with plugins. Lots of plugins.
