Understanding ejabberd OAuth Support & Roadmap
Note: For up-to-date documentation on OAuth configuration and usage in recent ejabberd versions, check the corresponding page in the ejabberd Docs site: OAuth Support. Login and password authentication is still the most commonly used auth mechanism on XMPP services. However, it is causing security concerns because it requires to store the credentials on the client… Continue reading Understanding ejabberd OAuth Support & Roadmap

SwiftNIO is Apple non-blocking networking library. It can be used to write either client libraries or server frameworks and works on macOS, iOS and Linux. It is built by some of the Netty team members. It is a port of Netty, a high performance networking framework written in Java and adapted in Swift. SwiftNIO thus… Continue reading SwiftNIO: Understanding Futures and Promises
The concepts behind SwiftUI: What is the keyword “some” doing?
When you want to start learning SwiftUI, you create a project and get a basic example view with just a Text field. That default view is pretty simple, but already introduces many new concepts. Let’s focus in this article on the some keyword.
Writing a Custom Scroll View with SwiftUI in a chat application
When you are writing a chat application, you need to be able to have some control on the chat view. The chat view typically starts aligned at the end of the conversation, which is the bottom of the screen. When you have received more messages and they cannot fit on one screen anymore, you can… Continue reading Writing a Custom Scroll View with SwiftUI in a chat application
Using a local development trusted CA on MacOS
TLS certificates are so ubiquitous that you now very often need them even during the development phase. Developers are thus used to create “self-signed” certificates and configure their client requiring TLS support to accept self-signed certificates. This can be fine for development: As both the client and the server are on the same computer, the… Continue reading Using a local development trusted CA on MacOS

Thoughts on Code Style in Library Design
Designing the API for an XMPP client I have been recently working on our Fluux XMPP library, a library that can be used to implement clients and server components in Go. XMPP protocol is flexible and contains many extensions. It can be daunting to get into XMPP so it’s very tempting to add new tools… Continue reading Thoughts on Code Style in Library Design
