Integration with the matrix. #147

Open chagai95 opened 4 years ago

chagai95 commented 4 years ago

I could set this up if there is any interest. I would appreciate it i someone got in touch with me. tiny.cc/chagai also, I assume the server side is not open source are there any plans on creating an API? looking forward to anyone's answer!

@wischweh I would be interested as well in creating an Android App

@chagai95 What do you mean? (And you need a BeWelcome icon on your contact page.)

chagai95 commented 4 years ago

thanks for answering so quickly! What exactly was not clear? I would like to add a very powerful UCC client - Riot to this project you can check out the many clients this project has here: riot.im As to my second question - is the server side code also open source? or is there an API so I can write an Android app for example? or do I have to ask you for access to the servers? let's have a video call sometime and we can see how I can be of benefit to the project. Also, have you heard of trustroots.org?

@chagai95: Not everyone has the same background. Matrix for me is three movies :) Okay, Matrix is a protocol as well, and riot.im would be a good way to communicate. Not sure in which way that would help for BeWelcome, though.

There is no client side (well, strictly speaking the JS is). The code you see is the code running on the server.

Yes, I know of trustroots.

I would be happy to have Matrix integrated in BeWelcome.

It will would help by adding the possibly to chat in a very good platform.

@globi, @chagai95 What would be the use case in a hospex platform besides to chat with each other :thinking:

Jesus82 commented 4 years ago

@crumbking you're arriving to your destination and need last minute indications. I think it would be useful for that.

gl0bi commented 4 years ago

It would be also useful to have different rooms for chats between volunteers... @chagai95 i just joined https://riot.chagaifriedlander.cf/ to check how it works...
