The motivation behind the project is to provide a native desktop app for Matrix that feels more like a mainstream chat app (Riot, Telegram etc) and less like an IRC client.

Features

Most of the features you'd expect from a chat application are missing right now but you can of course receive and send messages in the rooms that you are a member of.

Requirements

  • CMake 3.1 or greater.
  • A compiler that supports C++11.
    • Clang 3.3 (or greater).
    • GCC 4.8 (or greater).

$ sudo pacman -S qt5-base cmake gcc
Ubuntu 14.04
