ChatCube

I’ve been trying the ChatCube app recently. Other than a few rough edges, it seems to work very well. We now have a working Telegram client on RISC OS, in addition to the developers’ own protocol.

Anyone else tried it?

I think ChatCube is brilliant. Looks very modern and is a very useful application that I hope will gain traction with the wider community.

As you say, it still has a few bug here and there, but it’s a a steady state of improvement.
New developers on RISC OS doing some great work.

For anyone interested in downloading this new messaging App – it’s available >>> https://riscoscloverleaf.com/downloads/

Anyone else tried it?

Yup and I agree about a few rough edges (mostly Style Guide stuff) but I really like it. I haven’t tried the non-Telegram protocol though, so if anyone wants to test it with me, feel free to look me up.

I “use” both protocol (Telegram more). Titanium, Pi-Top, RPCEmu… is working well. Great work.
Maybe the programmers are new but Stefan not (long time ago Evolution Computer, A3000 IDE interface) ;-)

I’m connected all the time and find it very useful (even if I won’t be connected for one week or two because of some work on the shop floor).

I hope that webinar functions will come later. Audio would be fantastic too.

Telegram just fails to authorise, i get the code on another device and enter it, it doesn’t error out but requests the code again which then fails. It is also telling me that i need to update when i don’t, odd bugs.

Hmm, Telegram.

Just looked at that on Android as support for something I use has moved to Telegram. Not really liking the walled garden aspect (there doesn’t appear to be a way to read a public discussion in a browser, it just gives me pointers to software to download).

Had a look at the Android app. Oh my god, the permissions. No way in hell I’m letting an app I don’t know modify my contacts ¹, directly make phone calls, read the call log… and a bunch more but I gave up before reading them all.

It might all be benign, but then, so was Google once upon a time.

I’ll do without, thanks.

I had this too, but then I quit and reloaded and Telegram was there!

Yes, I also installed it and like it very much although haven’t used it a lot, yet. But I think I will do because I use Telegram anyway and sometimes need to send images (did not test whether this currently works) generated in ArtWorks so the RISC OS client might be very helpful for that.

Deleted, a user really should be able to delete a post you know ;)

I have ChatCube V1.26, but haven’t managed to get Telegram working. Initially, I saw my Telegram groups appear in the main window together with all the ChatCube RISC OS folk users, but now I have trouble logging in.
On my mobile phone, immediately after setting it up on ChatCube, I got a message with a verification code followed by another Telegram message informing me that someone had logged into my account with their IP address. This is not an IP address of mine. I wonder whether that has screwed things up. Trying now to login to Telegram with the code Telegram sent, I get the response that the code is invalid.

I have no problems.
I “use” a (main) Telegramm account on my private SM-Art-Phone, a portable app client in WIN and with ChatCube.

Telegram is now working for me.
Do you have to enter a fresh code given by Telegram in a message to your mobile phone each time you login to ChatCube?

No.
