LimoX is my own [XMPP][1] client. The goal is to implement a client with these
attributes:

- Linux support
- high performance
- mobile UI
- basic features first following the [Kano model][2]
- good quality

If this goal is reached it would be possible to turn LimoX into a generic
multi-platform XMPP client with support for Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android and
iOS.

The current state is far from the described goals, while simple text messages
in one-to-one-chats are already implemented. Have a look at the [README][3] for
a detailed roadmap.

LimoX is now based on SDL2 and dropped (nearly all) features compared to the
legacy [GTK4 / libstrophe][4] version. You can still use the old version with
the legacy/gtk4-libstrophe branch, but future work will rely on SDL2 and
self-written XMPP logic.
