Do you think that it’s possible to build a web service to chat compatible with email , xmpp and matrix?
(and why not even with activityPub or rocketChat ?? )

I think Matrix has bridges to all these networks, except ActivityPub (it may, I just don’t know).
That’s right, but it’s not activated by default. And it’s not easy at all.
I tried for myself but that require that I configure bridge for the server, then for each room, with some strange
/command
I have to remember.When I think of a service I mean a service that anyone can use, even the no tech guys.
It’s nice that it’s technically possible, though! :)
The biggest part of the question is more a UI/UX question then a technical one actually.
Have you heard of Beeper?

How can they make a closed source fork of an open source (Apache-2.0) project?
I am not an expert, but I see that the Apache license has no copyleft.

Oh damn, I always thought Apache2.0 will protect also the derivative works, but apparently I was wrong:

Hi :) yes I did. And I tried. 🙂
It’s a great multi protocol app. But you cannot chat in the same conversation with two different protocol. :/
And there is no xmpp support.
Even for the matrix federation it was possible only with the desktop app.
So that’s not that I looking for.
