Hosting and SMS

Many people expect to use a messaging app by just entering their phone number. Traditionally it was not possible to make other choices without losing contact with people who refuse to make any other choice. 

Quicksy made it possible to satisfy this without requiring the exact same choice by others who want more privacy from the provider, like not sharing their phone number. This was possible because Quicksy is interoperable with any XMPP app out there. So people can make different choices about privacy without losing contacts now. For example, users of Monocles Chat or Monal, which does not require a phone number can talk to Quicksy users.

Prav is making Quicksy democratic by offering the same idea as a cooperative. So this means we also have to send SMS to users, and need your support as it costs money to send SMS in addition to the hosting costs.

Prav's server is hosted on Hetzner, while the SMS OTPs are sent by Twilio. This project is to raise funds to cover the costs of Hosting and SMS for Prav messaging service.
