WhatsApp & Pinephone - What are the alternatives for collaborative comms?

[TRS-80]

I am also using Dino (as an XMPP client) on the PinePhone.

There is actually a feature/handy branch, which is exactly what it sounds like (they implemented libhandy, as Dino is apparently already a GTK program in the first place).  But that means you will need to compile it from source (for now).  Which is a slight pain, however OTOH it is also so cool that this is possible to even do this directly on the PinePhone (being that it is a regular GNU/Linux OS after all...)!

There is an issue thread about it at their Microsoft GitHub, in fact I gave my feedback on compiling on the phone in this post.  I seem to be successful in compiling things only about 50% of the time, lol, but this actually went relatively painless.  Oh yes, and disregard my comments about launching the compiled app, after some time (or a reboot maybe?) it started to "just work" like normal (in fact I guess I should report that back...).

There are a couple (lesser used) menus that you might need to work around by turning to landscape, but a good majority of the app (and all the "main" views) have been implemented in libhandy by now.  It is quite useable at this point already!
