Threema?

Probably someday? https://todo.sr.ht/~nicoco/slidge/1

Did you look at/consider zulip? Using it at work now, and miss a simple/irc-like cli client (there's an official client that runs in the terminal - but it's more of a TUI than a weechat-work-a-like. However their python Api is nice enough that one can almost just use that. But maybe only for writing - not full participation in conversations... :)

Nope, didn't know about it. At first glance, it looks like the pypi package is for sending messages only. Since it's all open source, I guess it should not be too much work to get a slidge-zulip plugin working.

Feel free to open a ticket about it in slidge's todo.

Correction: The Zulip Python bindings can be used for any API endpoint. See https://zulip.com/api/rest. We'll fix https://pypi.org/project/zulip/, which apparently doesn't link there.

https://github.com/zulip/python-zulip-api/tree/main/zulip/in... has a few bridges similar to what you're building that may be helpful references; the Zephyr one is the most sophisticated and the Matrix one is about to be rewritten (https://github.com/zulip/python-zulip-api/pull/765), so those may be useful resources.

Thanks for the information! I added this to my tracker then. Not sure I'll work on it soon, but at least the relevant links you gave me are stored somewhere easy to find now.
