CoyIM is a new client for the XMPP protocol. It
is built upon https://github.com/agl/xmpp-client and
https://github.com/twstrike/otr3. It adds a graphical user interface and
tries to be safe and secure by default. Our ambition is that it should
be possible for even the most high-risk people on the planet to safely
use CoyIM, without having to make any configuration changes.
.
To do this, we enable OTR by default, we default to use Tor and we will
use the Tor Onion Service for a server if we know it, and also to use
TLS and TLS certificates to verify the connection - no configuration
necessary. The implementation is written in the Go language, to avoid many
common types of vulnerabilities that come from using unsafe languages.
Security warning CoyIM is currently under active development. There have
been no security audits of the code, and you should currently not use
this for anything sensitive. Installation instructionsGUI version The GUI
version requires GTK+ >= 3.6.16, which installation depends on your OS:
.
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install gtk+3.0 libgtk-3-dev

Then install coyim:
.
.
export GTK_VERSION=$(pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0 | tr . _ | cut -d
'_' -f 1-2) go get -u -tags "gtk_${GTK_VERSION}" github.com/twstrike/coyim
.
CLI version (xmpp-client)
