Standing on shoulders

exteraless is a fork of NagramX that implements exteraGram's features as open source. mauve builds on top of it.

NagramX → exteraless → mauve

Plugins you can trust

In exteraGram, a plugin has no restrictions at all. In mauve, plugins have a permission model.

Declared

A plugin declares exactly what it needs up front.

Visible

You see those permissions on the install screen before anything runs.

Enforced

The plugin gets only what it declared — nothing more.

Ported so far

Some exteraGram features haven't been ported yet. Missing something? Open an issue or write to the channel.
