Franz: New feature request - Viber integration

Created on 24 Oct 2017 · 7Comments · Source: meetfranz/franz

Could you please integrate Viber? It would be a LIFE SAVER!! My parents are too old to migrate over to Whatsapp and I speak with them regularly (from the other side of the world). I believe Viber has a web app now - https://account.viber.com/en/login

Feature Description

Integration of Viber via web app - https://account.viber.com/en/login

Motivation and Context

This change will make Franz the best in the world.
My parents are old and on the other side of the world, so it's hard to talk through technological changes such as downloading different apps. They use Viber already and aren't able/willing to move over to Whatsapp.
This solves the problem of me managing multiple message applications (furthering Franz's value proposition).

Mockups, Screenshots (if available):

None available but I know you know what this looks like (exactly the same as your other app integrations).

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ned-kelly Can this be pushed upstream ? I don't see the need for this to be outside of Franz core.

Unfortunately it's not possible at the moment as Viber doesn't provide a web interface for chatting. Im very sorry!

Viber does have a Desktop client. Can that be integrated? I wouldn't mind basically installing it, as long as it's in the Franz front end.

Hi @ComradeVVA - I've actually made a franz plugin that does just that: https://github.com/david-nedved/viber-franz
