Summary:
C: Kaidan, a simple and user-friendly Jabber/XMPP client for every device and platform
Description:
C: >-
<p>Kaidan is a simple, user-friendly Jabber/XMPP client providing a modern user-interface using Kirigami and QtQuick.
The back-end of Kaidan is entirely written in C++ using the qxmpp XMPP client library and Qt 5.</p>
<p>Kaidan is not finished yet, so don’t expect it working as well as a finished client will do.</p>
<p>For a list of supported XEPs, have a look at the Wiki.</p>
