Jabber/XMPP transport for Google Hangouts


Another deprecated project

December 2015.

Social pressure forces me to communicate with people using Hangouts, Google's instant messaging platform.

Unfortunately, the only way to use it is either on Gmail, or using the worst client you've ever seen: a Google Chrome extension.

My operating system is not a f*cking web browser!

What if I want to?:

Being an active user of Jabber/XMPP, I decided the best way to solve all these problems at once would be to write a transport for my Jabber server.

This transport can be found on GitHub:
https://github.com/ZeWaren/jabber-hangouts-transport

That way, I can communicate with people using Hangouts with any Jabber client.

Here are a few screenshots from Psi and Pidgin:
