🌐 Season of KDE 2026: The Journey

Welcome to the documentation of my contribution to the KDE Community during the 2026 season. I am working on bringing decentralized messaging and WebXDC capabilities to the Falkon Browser.

Project Overview

Goal: Build a native Falkon browser extension that acts as a fully functional XMPP client and WebXDC runner.

  • Tech Stack: Python (Slixmpp), C++ / Qt (PyQt/PySide), SQLite, XMPP Protocols.
  • Mentors: Schimon Jehudah, Juraj Oravec, Benson Muite.

📝 Official Project Blogs

As part of the Season of KDE, I am publishing two major milestone blogs detailing the architecture, challenges, and successes of this project.

1. Blog 1: Introducing Falkon Connect (XMPP Integration)

Answering the community call: What is this extension, what features are live right now, and where are we heading next?

2. Blog 2: Architecting WebXDC Interpolation over XMPP

A forward-looking engineering analysis outlining the anticipated bottlenecks, IPC data pipelines, and the phased implementation roadmap for bridging interactive WebXDC applications with Falkon Connect.
