The main goal is,
- To make tox messages synchronized between multiple endpoints,
- Mobile friendly on saving power and saving network traffic,
- Keep toxid always online.
The main purposes are,
- Based on toxcore protocol. Split out a server instance for personal use.
- Supports only one toxid. It's not a bouncer, but more act as a bridge.
- Supports native apps and web apps by gRPC/websocket.
- Store messages and synchronize messages to bridged clients.
- Bridged clients pull histories from tox-homeserver, that is, all bridged clients hold a same local history. The history is the messages sent to tox-homeserver when bridged client is offline.
- tox-homeserver is still work in progress. Who interesting in can take a look at https://github.com/envsh/tox-homeserver.
- Since toxcore supports group for temporary for now, there is no (good) way to merge group messages while the group was recreated.
