Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol Web clients/interfaces. This page ranks 3 open-source web clients projects by a health score recomputed every night from repository data; nothing else affects the order. Converse.js leads at 84/100 with 176 commits in the last 90 days and 3.3k stars, followed by Libervia (10) and Salut à Toi (10). 1 of the 3 score 70 or above, 0 publish a Docker image, and the median health is 10. AGPL-3.0 is the most common licence, carried by 2 of them. The score weighs commits in the last 90 days, release recency, stars, archive status and Docker support; a low number means low measurable activity, not low quality, so a finished, stable tool can legitimately sit lower down.
