Feature Request: Chat without GCM
Created by: SecUpwN
Good evening @SMSSecure developers,
thank you so much for this fork of the original TextSecure App! Let me tell you that there are thousands of people out there searching for an alternative to TextSecure now. With great interest I stumbled upon your fork here and noticed that you stated Drop Google services dependencies: push messages are not available in SMSSecure; if you want to keep them, SMSSecure is not for you.
Great stuff!
Although my focus also lies on encrypted SMS, I am opening this Issue to discuss a possible chat without GCM_. That means, if SMSSecure would be granted internet access, you could chat with each other just like in a chat room. Again, all of this should be done without Google and does _NOT* have to implemented right away, it's just a request and small glimpse of hope in my ongoing search for the "perfect crypto-messenger" which would cover both types of communications while being open source.
One more important thing: You should add your App to the Secure Messaging Scorecard! Thank you!
