Another good news is that dino with libhandy got packaged and is available for installation.
Eg "sudo pacman -Syu dino-mobile"
This is a really good thing as Kaidan has still a long way to go to be really usable.

I was coming here to say that I built it from source and it wasn't that hard at all (on Mobian though). And I only seem to have maybe 50% success (at best?) building things from source (generally speaking). lol
But now I see (from your post above) that Arch/Manjaro have packaged it. Which is not surprising, really.
On a side note, building something from source directly on the phone was one of the coolest things I have done to date on my PinePhone. People complain about early days, rough edges, etc... But it is so cool being able to not only install (regular GNUI/Linux) packages -- from your package manager / distro of choice -- but also to be able to compile things from latest sources! You are simply not doing that at all on Android, much less iOS!

Kind of hard at the moment.
On Phosh I had my best experience by far with Gajim.
However, on Plamo it's still impossible to get the keyboard to show up at any time you want, and Gajim doesn't seem to support double tapping on a touch screen to open up a conversation, so the enter key on a keyboard is a hard requirement, which therefore makes it unusable on Plamo.
The problem with Dino is that GTK3 apps in general still seem to be in pre-alpha on Plamo; really hard to see chat windows because the contact part is always there, no way of going into settings or any other thing in the menu, the double-typing bug in GTK3 apps that still remains unfixed, but at least you can chat.
Kaidan is basically a proof of concept app that just doesn't work at all.
Didn't test anything else yet.

The latter behaves quite well and I can switch between contacts&muc and chat window. Settings etc. do not open yet, but in overall it is probably the best option in PlaMo so far...

MAM somewhat works, but the post does not get sorted by time correctly and it repeats some posts at every application start. Still no MUC. So still a long way to go...

Little sad considering that GTK3 was designed with many screen sizes and touch controls in mind.

Maybe that's because I always enable OMEMO and refuse to send anything without it?
At least it's not as bad as Neochat, which gives you an endless "loading..." screen for every chat you go into.

It's currently (well, last I checked) still in the feature/handy branch in their repo.
