coyim is a safe and secure chat client.

coyim is a new client for the xmpp protocol. it adds a graphical user interface and tries to be safe and secure by default. our ambition is that it should be possible for even the most highrisk people on the planet to safely use coyim, without having to make any configuration changes.

to do this, we enable otr by default, we default to use tor and we will use the tor onion service for a server if we know it, and also to use tls and tls certificates to verify the connection no configuration necessary. the implementation is written in the go language, to avoid many common types of vulnerabilities that come from using unsafe languages.
