Hello,
Matrix is a general messenger style protocol similar to XMPP but
with certain things done differently. Core principle is still
federation similar to XMPP or traditional email that encourages
decentralization i.e. running as many servers as possible.
One of its core features is that it encourages bridging into
various other networks, however SIP bridge is not available at the
moment.
Most advanced is an IRC bridge, XMPP bridge is in very active
development, there is awesome telegram bridge, discord bridge.
There are even more however I don't know how well these are
developed including whatsapp bridge, facebook, skype, hangouts
puppet style bridges and perhaps some more.
There are multiple matrix clients.
Riot web is very accessible with some little anoyances and perhaps some limitations, however I am using it for chatting and voice calling regularly.
Riot android is even better accessible.
Riot desktop is just a web app distributed as an electron app. So no a11y on linux with that so far.
There is a GTK3 based matrix client app called Fractal. It is
also very accessible, however there is no way to scroll history of
chats with the keyboard alone without the mouse so again
Imagine what SMTP and IMAP are for traditional emails matrix
might become for instant messaging in the future. Other awesome
features include native multidevice support - seeing the same
message history on your desktop, on your laptop and mobile...
Built-in end-to-end encryption to ensure only you and your chat
partners can read the conversations. When messages are encrypted
like this even server admins can't read them.
I am sure there is even more.
I apologize for adding more to the off topic discussion. I have
mentioned matrix on a few occassions here on this list, so perhaps
you can just delete this or regard it as a status update if you
are not following on its development.
Greetings
Peter
Hello, I'll test yate in next days. It's a cli-based tool with a client. There is also an other complex way via Matrix. It's a general platform for instant messenging and the web client Riot seems accessible (to test). But you need a Matrix server to use it. (Desktop version of Riot is just the web app embedded in a web-container, and doesn't seem accessible...) Have a good day :)
