I'm excited to announce that #Convo, my #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS has received a grant from @npub1n8y6...l96n, or, more specifically, @npub1dk0y...k0wd! 🎉 🤸

NLnet; Convo XMPP client

I can now turn what began as a quick project made in a providential three weeks of free time into an app that can...actually do basic things like add contacts 😅 More importantly, it'll make the open and standardised messaging protocol available to a mobile platform where few large players have dared to tread 👟 #NLnet #NGIzero
