The state of open source SMS messagers - eviltoast

With simple messager selling out & qksms no longer being actively worked on. What’s our options for open source sms messagers?

Should I dedicate time to learning flutter and building my own or does anyone know any cool foss projects working on this issue?

    Plenty of group chats that mix iMessage and sms, just through iMessage, or just sms group chats.

    Most new Canadians I interact with have WhatsApp, however, as I understand that’s quite popular abroad.

      SMS doesn’t have group chats does it? Unless your client is just sending the same message to everyone and grouping together the responses?

        I don’t know about the underlying technology, but every client I’ve used for the past couple decades supported groups.

        However, they absolutely sucked. There was no way to leave. Unless someone made a new group without you and everyone used that, you’d keep getting messages.
