Thanks to the donor, and the entire tox community for sticking with the project all these years. As time passes, more accurate updates will be posted here. My end date won’t be earlier than late September 2022, but may be later. PRs won’t be kicking around for months, issues will get prompt replies, and I’ll be around to bounce ideas off of. QTox development was in a bit of a lull before this, but now is a great time to get involved and contribute.

This is still an accurate idea of what I’ll aim for in the year. We don’t have a project manager, and have fewer developers than initially planned, so some things that end up being more work than expected will be deprioritized. Realistically there’s endless work that can be done to make qTox and tox in general as featureful and polished as mainstream chats, with the added challenge of being distributed. There are endless more ideas if I run out of things to work on.

Multi-device support, for one ID to have shared friends and shared history.

A dedicated easy to set-up daemon that allows messages to always be delivered.

This will require the receiving party to cooperate given the nature of free software.

Timed messages, giving the ability for users to send self-deleting messages.

Custom named chat stickers that can be added and re-used easily between friends.

for bold and italic) are not cross-client compatible and are part of the message, rather than metadata about the message. Currently qTox’s formatting characters (e.g.

Further use of To圎xt, made by sphaerophoria, to add features to qTox depending on protocol changes in a backwards compatible and client compatible way, such as:.

Push-to-talk support for calls and groups, allowing configurable key bindings to mute/unmute.

This will include features like groups joinable by link, group admins, lower latency, and more.

Improving general group features and performance by adding support for tox “DHT group chats” or “new group chats” in toxcore.

Making groups more usable with little things like an option to disable join/leave notifications.

Possibly improved to fill in history gaps from trusted friends.

Initially messages sent while you’re offline won’t be added to history.

Expand our automated testing to make regressions rarer and development more efficient.

Make the file transfer tab more useful by having the files link back to the part of chat where they were received for context.

Add pending offline file transfers that behave like messages which can be queued to be sent once connected with a friend.

Add file transfer auto-resume, to continue the transfer after it’s interrupted.

Fix lots of the weird behaviour and crashes with the chat log and history search.

Changes will be targeted at benefiting all users, and nothing is changing in terms of copyright or licensing. The objective is to improve qTox and tox in general. Think of this as a year-long “summer of code”, if you’re familiar with that program. Additionally, they funded the part-time creation of toxfs, and a few months of sphaerophoria’s part-time work on qTox.

#TOXCORE QTOX FULL#

Thanks to a generous qTox user stepping forward with funding, I’ve been able to quit my software engineering day job and commit to one year of working on qTox full time.
