valeriansaliou··on In Search of a Discord Replacement
I’m working on Prose, a lightweight XMPP team messaging app that can work as a Discord replacement. There’s no calls for the moment and OMEMO support is on the works but everything else is working great and pretty mature.

Lightweight macOS app / Windows running with Tauri are available and they feel native. But it’s also a Web app that can run on any domain.

Available at prose.org and https://github.com/prose-im/prose-app-web

valeriansaliou··on Monitoring My Homelab, Simply
This resembles how I monitor all infrastructure I run. One of them has 150 small independent VMs, for which I had to build a custom micro service monitoring open source tool that I still use to this day: https://github.com/valeriansaliou/vigil

There’s no certificate expiration monitoring just yet, but everything else is there: poll probes (active ICMP or TCP probes), push probes (reporting HTTP API for apps), and local probes (reporting HTTP API for sub-Vigil for firewalled infrastructure parts).

valeriansaliou··on Tell HN: Slack decides to close down IRC and XMPP gateways
This opens up a market for someone building a Slack app and putting it on the Slack marketplace, that would relay in/out messages from/to XMPP o IRC. I'd pay for this, I definitely don't want to use Slack from their Electron app that sucks both my battery and my RAM. I'd stick with Adium as an XMPP client connected to Slack.
valeriansaliou··on Ask HN: What is the service that provides the customer support chat popup?
Crisp does that, and is able to integrate with Slack to reply to visitors - in addition to its Web dashboard.

Disclosure: I am the co-founder.

Bug fixed. Email event processing was delayed yesterday, emails should have be dispatched a few hours back ago.

Can you retry now? We had some event processing delays due to our growth.

Hi! We're still early in the product, mobile apps are in beta ATM, we're working on native versions for them, current versions are just transitional versions.
