Are you using the Pinephone as your daily driver?

[TRS-80]

sxmo has come a longway since I first started using the PP so I use the PP for most things. my Android phone is basically a music player, Google Maps directions finder, and alarm clock, as those are niches that aren't well executed yet on the PP.

I have been thinking about making a post about this. I am doing a similar thing, using my old s5 (without SIM card) to smooth over some of the rough edges of the PinePhone. In my case, mainly the camera, todo.txt app, and using swipe input method to write anything lengthy.

One day I hope it will no longer be necessary. But I am so happy about being off the Android plantation (for the most part) that I am totally fine with this state of affairs for the time being!

Any recommendations for setting up xmpp? I've tried in the past but I never really got it working.

Client or server? And what platform(s)?

XMPP is just as easy to set up as email. There are a lot of servers out there open to the public if you don't want to set up your own. But even that is not terribly difficult, IMO (I've been running my server for at least 5 years now without much incident).

Happy to help in the interest of promoting protocols instead of platforms, just need to know where you seemed to have difficulty.
