Man. I see the pidgin chat client is at the top of HN, and I was thinking. I use Mattermost, Slack, Discord, and on occasion Facebook, and Pidgin has plugins for all of them. Maybe this would be nice.
I gave it an honest try this morning. Managed to get Facebook and Slack integrated. The Mattermost plugin did not work, and is not actively maintained.
In the end I did not like the experience. inline images/web-previews, etc were not enabled (possible by plugin?), ui was a bit clunky and disorganized. Not sure if that is pidgin or the plugins fault.
