If you made this a Matrix client, I think you'd really have something. Using the matrix-rust-sdk, you could even get E2EE that people are requesting for free.

Big plus one. In order to encourage (what I strongly believe to be much needed) experimentation with personal messaging we have to break away from having each. new. client. establish it's own network. Otherwise competition in this field will always be limited. Matrix I believe is currently the most promising answer to this problem.

or the Internet Standard XMPP

I haven't heard of even one of the things you mentioned

FWIW, I had heard of Matrix, Rust, and E2EE. :-)

You should definitely check Matrix out: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/getting-involved

E2EE = end-to-end encryption

Matrix = an open, federated messaging protocol suitable for replication of all kinds of structured data

matrix-rust-sdk is a client SDK for writing Matrix clients, written in Rust.
