nheko

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

Building instructions for OSX and Windows will be added.

Linux

• Qt5
• CMake v3.1 or greater
• GCC that supports C++11.

Arch Linux

$ sudo pacman -S qt5-base cmake gcc

Building

Run

cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # Default is Debug.
make -C build

The nheko binary will be located in the build directory.

Contributing

Any kind of contribution to the project is greatly appreciated. You are also encouraged to open feature request issues.

Screens

Here is a screen shot to get a feel for the UI, but things will probably change.
