Sometimes I have to manage a conversations over SMS through my phone. This is especially frustrating when I'm trying to get work done on my computer.
I don't mind holding a conversation but there is a considerable amount of mental and physical task-switching by picking up the phone, turning it on, unlocking it, responding, deciding whether to keep holding it or set it down again and then repeat.
It would be very convenient if I could manage these conversations from my computer when I'm logged in.
Before anyone asks, I cannot ignore these messages and they often require a response. It is unreasonable to ask all of my contacts to instead contact me through an alternate preferred messaging app as SMS is already viewed as the lowest common denominator between platforms.
My phone is running Android. My workstation is Fedora running MATE Desktop.
Brownie points if there is a solution that integrates with Pidgin.
