Re: [orca-list] [Support] Tox Messenger, it's a FOSS replacement for Skype; I have questions.



Hello,
There appears to be strong community around this project. I haven't tried it so far however what is amazing eventhough I haven't yet installed it is that they already have pidgin protocol plugin, version for android and they are even considering IOS version. They are using GTK plus 3 on linux and QT 5 on linux and windows for the user interface so at least there is a chance accessibility issues are fixable I hope as they arise.


Greetings

Peter

Hi,

I recently discovered the Tox Messenger project.
https://tox.im/
Tox aims to be a free, open-source replacement for Skype, offering
text messaging, voip with optional video, and peer-to-peer, encrypted
sessions.  Is anyone using this?  I'd like to add some contacts.  I
believe the standard client has a QT5 gui. I found a gtk client called
Venom; it's in the Arch User Repository as venom-git.  There are very
few options to configure, unless most of the preferences pane is
invisible?  There seems to be user account setup; ids are
machine-generated. There is a user setup page, on which you put your
human-recognizable name and status message.  If you want to add me,
the tox id is:
