About

JabberCard (previously YOJI, and formerly FASI) is a "fancy and sleek invitation" system with additional features.

It is primarily an HTML invitation page for XMPP, which allows to present XMPP profiles as fancy HTML pages.

The main purpose, is to provide an interface to share and link to XMPP contacts and group chats via HTML browsers.

It also provides interfaces to view conference messages and PubSub posts, and to explore XMPP servers, PubSub nodes and other services and entities.

Motives for creating JabberCard

The main motives for the realization of JabberCard are to:

  • Create rapport with the viewers;

By displaying vCard information, such as Full Name and Description or Note;

  • Charm our "normie" friends, so called;

By displaying an attractive contact HTML page, which they can also utilize;

  • Utilize an invitation page with dynamic XMPP capabilities;

Regardless to the software that powers an XMPP server;

  • Realize the beautiful simplicity of XMPP;

Exposing the uniform structure of XMPP would cause to people to be motivated to utilize, install, serve, and develop XMPP software;

  • Realize that HTTP is obsolete and should be treated as an optional publishing mean;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;

Gopher and Gemini do not allow scripts, and, therefore, a server-side is essential for these type of mediums.
