NanoMQ vs Trumpia

NanoMQ vs Trumpia: at a glance
What is NanoMQ?
A protocol-layer correctness pass, delivered largely by first-time contributors
0.25.6 is a bug-fix release the maintainer recommends to every user on an earlier tag, and its weight sits in NanoNNG rather than the broker: unsuccessful CONNACK negotiation is now rejected, Session Expiry Interval is accepted in CONNACK, pipes closed during the unlocked auth window are no longer registered, receive pipes unlink on session handoff, and a strict property checker guards against malformed input. Two potential security issues are patched, SCRAM handling hardened, and a workaround added for an NNG TLS idle bug. Four of the contributors are making their first commit to the project.
What is Trumpia?
Trumpia publishes SMS explainers weekly and product notes never — including the same post twice.
Eleven entries, zero releases. The feed is SMS marketing education: what you need before launching a campaign, KPIs to track, emoji meanings, what a drip campaign is, why customers opt in, how to switch RCS back to SMS, and an award mention. The KPI post appears twice within a week under the same title with near-identical copy, so the feed duplicates its own content as well as carrying none from the product. Nothing here reveals what Trumpia has shipped.

NanoMQ
6.3COMMS
A protocol-layer correctness pass, delivered largely by first-time contributors
◆ Current state
0.25.6 is a bug-fix release the maintainer recommends to every user on an earlier tag, and its weight sits in NanoNNG rather than the broker: unsuccessful CONNACK negotiation is now rejected, Session Expiry Interval is accepted in CONNACK, pipes closed during the unlocked auth window are no longer registered, receive pipes unlink on session handoff, and a strict property checker guards against malformed input. Two potential security issues are patched, SCRAM handling hardened, and a workaround added for an NNG TLS idle bug. Four of the contributors are making their first commit to the project.
◆ Where it's heading
The hardening campaign that began with fuzzing on the 0.24 line has moved up into MQTT protocol conformance — this release is dense with spec-edge handling and lifecycle races rather than crashes. The more interesting shift is social: after 0.25.5 traded architecture breadth for correctness depth, the protocol layer is now attracting outside contributors, with four newcomers landing fixes in NanoNNG in a single release. That is a different growth mode than the maintainer-driven cadence of the 0.24 line.
◆ Prediction
The 0.25 line looks set to continue on protocol conformance and session lifecycle correctness rather than new features. The SipHash client ID hashing question the maintainer raised in 0.25.2 is still open in these entries, with no resolution either way.
Trumpia
5.0COMMS
Trumpia publishes SMS explainers weekly and product notes never — including the same post twice.
◆ Current state
Eleven entries, zero releases. The feed is SMS marketing education: what you need before launching a campaign, KPIs to track, emoji meanings, what a drip campaign is, why customers opt in, how to switch RCS back to SMS, and an award mention. The KPI post appears twice within a week under the same title with near-identical copy, so the feed duplicates its own content as well as carrying none from the product. Nothing here reveals what Trumpia has shipped.
◆ Where it's heading
The consistent thread is defending SMS against RCS: the guide explaining how to turn RCS off frames plain SMS as the reliable, universally supported channel, and the rest keeps attention on fundamentals a Trumpia customer already accepts. The newest post is the most basic yet — defining SMS marketing from scratch — which puts the content at the very top of the funnel rather than anywhere near a shipped capability. That is a retention and acquisition posture, not a product one.
◆ Prediction
These entries support no prediction about the product. A real release would have to appear on a different channel before anything could be said about direction.
