I'm constantly amazed at all these people trying to re-invent something that there is a good, open standard, open source, implementation of with mature libraries and both client and server options galore.

@freemor@identi.ca though I generally agree, in this particular case (briar) is interesting as it appears meant to synchronize directly between devices using bluetooth, wifi, or tor. That's something that doesn't really align with traditional XMPP. It claims it will be Free Software when it's out of private beta.
So, I'm reserving judgment until that happens. I would hope that if the experiment is successful then a full RFC standardization process would occur, with multiple implementations.

Good point.. Do they have a detailed whitepaper discussing their encryption, network topology, etc.
Sadly their website like so many is a soup of marketing buzzwords with no details.
