Nextcloud Talk
Nextcloud Talk for Sailfish OS is in a very early stage. At the moment it supports multi-account chat.
The code is available at https://codeberg.org/blizzz/harbour-nextcloud-talk. I learn my Qt/QML/C++ on working on the app (in my little spare time).
Code contributions (or advice) are more than welcome :)
ℹ️ Since Alpha 7 passwords are stored (and migrated to) Sailfish Secrets. I.e. you will be asked whether it is OK for the app to write and store passwords. Similar experience as with Storeman :)
Features
The following list is complete:
- Legacy-type login with host, username and password. Please create an app password on Nextcloud and use it.
- Multi-account support
- customizable indicator colors on conversations page, defaults to instance theme
- on demand (de-)activation of accounts
- List of all conversations, sorted by activity.
- It contains an unread counter, which is highlighted when an unread mention is present.
- Regular polling
- SailfishOS notifications, synced with Nextcloud
- Chat in any conversation
- loading most recent history
- constant long-polling of the currently open conversation
- automatically sets the read marker
- display of each messages author, avatar, text and date
- display of the message replied to, if applicable
- mentions or formatted bold and highlighted when they refer to you
- sets displaynames of mentions, actors
- recognize and format links
- stores the last seen message id per conversation
- view list of participants, click to mention
- list includes presence status, online status and status message
- message context menu to copy, mention and reply
- file preview, download, open (externally)
- file upload
- Online only, nothing is stored on the device except:
- account data (host, login, token, user ID plus generated account id and name)
- last seen message id per conversation
Please note
Some account information is stored in plain text (login name, user id, host url). The token/password is stored securely with Sailfish Secrets as of 1.0.0 Alpha 7(!). Previously the password was stored in plain text. With Alpha 7 it is migrated automatically to Sailfish Secrets.

Tnx! Seems to connect fine to my own server instance. However, I'm just starting with talk, so not much talking going on. :)
