JabberCard

JabberCard (formerly FASI) is a "fancy and sleek invitation" system with addeitional features. https://schapps.woodpeckersnest.eu/jabbercard/

About

JabberCard is an HTML invite page for XMPP. The main purpose, is to provide an interface to share XMPP contacts via HTML browsers. It also provides an interface to explore XMPP server conferences, pubsub and other services.

Reasons for creating JabberCard

The main reasons for the realization of JabberCard are to:

  • Add interactive capabilities, as well as vCard information;
  • Create rapport with the viewers, by displaying vCard information, such as Full Name and Description or Note;
  • Realize the beautiful simplicity of XMPP, so that more people would be motivated to utilize, install, serve, and develop XMPP software;
  • Charm our "normie" friends, so called, by displaying an attractive contact HTML page, which they can also utilize;
  • Utilize an invitation page, with XMPP capabilities, regardless to the software that powers an XMPP server;
  • Realize that HTTP is obsolete and should be treated as an optional publishing mean, because anything that HTTP offers, is already possible with XMPP, since a couple of decades ago.
  • Extend support for Gopher and Gemini, which do not allow scripts, and, therefore, a server-side is essential for these ASCII type mediums.

Special features

  • Fetch vCards and photos;
  • Indicate of available conferences, nodes and services;
  • Retrieve number of conferences, nodes, participants, node items and services;
  • Preview recent conference messages;
  • View journal articles (i.e. PubSub node items that are published as Atom Over XMPP).

Extended features

  • Browse services;
  • Explore JID and node items.

Other features

  • Customization for specific brands (e.g. Conversations, Cheogram, monocles chat and yaxim);
  • Dark mode;
  • Dynamic background in accordance to the photo colors.

JabberCard requires an XMPP account to work, it only needs an XMPP server.
