Hi, I'm a complete useless lurker who do not know anything about programming, and I want to program an XMPP client :D. I have absolutely 0 competence, but I'd like to know if there is a language preferable to make such things, and if there is a place where I can start to learn. I tried with some basic tutorials and general lessons about programming, but without a clear goal I got bored and stopped after a little while. Thanks in advance for every advice/insult!

My wife uses iPhone. So you should learn Swift and make a reliable XMPP client on iOS, which always notifies my wife when she has a new message.

Has she tried the latest Monal release? I think there were some improvement for push notifications.

At least Snikket server and the iOS app for Snikket (based on Siskin) have reliable push notifications on iOS for sure.

P.S.: the problem is of course iOS and not XMPP :p

Yes, she did. I'm going to try @snikket_im@fosstodon.org's server maybe next year. Thank you.

I think snikket is the best iOS xmpp client!

When the notification doesn't work correctly on my wife's phone, it is neither iOS's nor XMPP's fault. It is mine.

Or maybe hers because she just pretends to not get them ;)

[–] vi21@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

No, she didn't. I saw the client didn't work.

I never used an iPhone or iOS in any way, so I don't think this gonna work :)
