Comment on Show HN: Messages for Macintosh – a classic Mac iMessage clientparent

Comments

I’m not seeing where Bitlbee supports iMessage. Is a plug-in needed for that support?

Bitlbee supports libpurple (Pidgin) plugins. That's how I message over Telegram with sic (tiny IRC client) against Bitlbee to people using smartphones around.

OK, but iMessage isn’t Telegram. There are Matrix bridges that support iMessage to varying degrees of success/features, but I’m not sure if the Matrix feature via libpurple would support whatever bridges you have configured inside Matrix. It seems like a lot of additional work/hypotheticals for something that is just a fun proof of concept.
