I've grown accustomed to being able to text people from my computer with weechat/bitlbee/libpurple. Is anyone aware of any ways to continue doing this type of thing when the google voice/hangouts integration stops working?

I specifically like being able to access my messages in a terminal/ncurses-style gui, and being able to log them locally.

You should be able to do this today at https://voice.google.com

(Disclosure: I work for Google, speaking only for myself)

that's a website, not a TUI

And it's a Google website, which is to say painfully slow - I assumed that this was because I use Firefox right up until I used it on a chromebook and discovered that it still crawled.

Yeah, I know I can do it through the website - I'm specifically interested in being able to do it through a terminal-based program. Partially because it suits my workflow better, and partially because I enjoy being able to have logs of my conversations that I control.

If you can convince your circle to move to signal, they have a CLI tool.
