I'm using a whatsapp-group to keep in touch with other developers in the same project. That's sub-optimal in the sense:
- Data is owned by another company (and we don't know how secure that is).
- It does not render phabricator assets (e.g. {D123}, {F456}).
- It is yet another place to book keep members (e.g. dev is no longer part of the project, need to remove it).
- Lacks support for desktop (I heard there is a Windows client).
OTHO, it is a great app:
- Available in many mobile platforms.
- Easy to use and reliable.
- Hassle-free management.
How hard would it be to have such thing in Phabricator? Say, through IRC or XMPP? Ideally it would:
- Provide same whatsapp experience (persistent chat rooms, easy to use, available in many platforms).
- Member management through phabricator Projects.
- Render Phabricator assets.
