What exactly are you looking for? A replacement messenger or something that allows communication with those messengers?
@tofu
- A Web solution
- Club board Members do not have to use their mobile devices (not have to install an app).
- In best case they write one Message and it get distributet on all.
Threema sadly blocks api access behind a paywall and community interest isn't high enough to have resulted in a workaround using the regular client access.
As for the main request, it is probably a bad idea to move to messengers as the primary communication tool. I would rather suggest to look into a tool like Loomio that has nice notification options to link the decision making process to various chat apps.
What about something xmpp-based like Jabber, Prosody, or Snikket?
@mrnobody Do you about any usefull integration to whatsap, signal, threema?
No unfortunately. I just meant as a secure replacement that you can host or have hosted for cheap. I do know they're are ways to get Matrix support on XMPP and there might be bridges out there but I don't have enough knowledge about them as I've not tried it.
XMPP with slidge is what you are looking for.
If they're already using Signal, why not use that, instead of trying to get them to install and set up yet another app?
Have you checked https://awesome-selfhosted.net/?
Mov.im ? A web frontend for xmpp. Though it's not hostable via docker (there is one but not for production).
I'm not sure it will 100% suit your use case but definitely a solid choice.
Matrix or Mattermost maybe.
@sihaha @selfhosted
There are a lot of integrations it seems.
Internet sais, getting the integrations work seems really difficult and is sometimes bad documented.
At least it is on my list for further investigating beside zammad.
Thanks, I forgot about them.
