Monocles Chat is the Android XMPP client which is greatest in terms of functionality, but the interface… holy fucking shit, I never saw such inconsistencies on every step. The interface of Monocles Chat is abhorrently ugly.

I opened one pull request some time ago in the Codeberg repository but the progress has stalled on this. And when I asked some day why these changes were not accepted, the reasoning that stood behind this is that… a “designer not corroborating with my UI improvement suggestions”.

Holy fucking shit. I would NEVER hire such a designer at a first place. This is why XMPP is not appealing to especially non-technical youth.
