I'm working on a lightweight native client for all major messengers:

https://eul.im

It's only 90 KB (!)

Right now there's an old barely usable alpha out, but a new release is coming up next week.

Not native, not 90KB. The first thing it does is downloading an embedded web browser. 90KB the installer. Not native either. libpurple is native.
v0.26 used to do that. Not v0.27. And yes, v0.27 is a 90KB native app. It will be released on Feb 14.
Pretty impressive. Any chance of tying it to IRSSI or making an IRC gateway like bitlbee? I connect to almost all those services through bitlbee already and it works pretty well. Add Naver Line support as well and I'm sold..
IRC is supported, so you can use bitlbee with eul.

Line messenger is not supported, but eul is modular, and everyone will be able to add support of custom messengers in the future as long as they have an open API (which Line seems to have).

Sounds impressive. Unfortunate timing that the new version is not out yet, but if it needs final touches then it does ;)

Did you consider open-sourcing it? More people would probably be willing to give it a try and support you on patreon if it was.

Sounds too good to be true! I'll check that.
Looks promising, keep working on it!
Wow!
