Question: If you already have bridges in place to send and receive messages in other clients, is there any reason I can't chat from those clients?

In other words, I want to be able to use the Messages app on my iPhone to communicate with other people using Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, etc. I would absolutely pay $10 a month for that, and I almost never subscribe to anything!

Is that something you could turn on, or is it more complicated than I'm imagining?

P.S. I'm wearing a Pebble 2 right now. Thanks for all your work on that, it's a great device.

Edit: Actually, even just some sort of XMPP gateway, so I could use any client that supports XMPP, would basically be enough for me.

...as I think about this more, could I, uh, just in general get more detail on what clients can be used? Asking as someone who has never used Matrix before.
