Great! Dino is my XMPP client of choice, it's good to see a new release.

My partner and family use https://quicksy.im/ which is an XMPP client that uses their phone number as username, to give it a "convenient as WhatsApp/Signal" feel.

I run the mobile UI branch https://github.com/dino/dino/tree/feature/handy on my Pinephone.

Hey! I am considering buying a pinephone but fear I am not enough of a hacker, an XMPP is one of the few things I need in my pocket computer. How hard is it to get Dino working on the pinephone? Do A/V calls work?

Any general feedback on the pinephone? Is it your main smartphone?

The master branch as Dino is not suitable for mobile use, since its UI doesn't scale down. The feature/handy branch is needed.

I haven't seen A/V calls working, but I know compatibility is being worked on. Audio calls will work before video calls.

The Pinephone is a breath of fresh air, but it's not yet ready for casual use by techies.

Pinephone is too slow to be my main phone. I'm looking forward to Pinephone Pro, which is fast enough, being able to reliably sleep.
