A cross-platform and blazingly fast Matrix client focused on group and gaming chat.
Status: Very much a work in progress.
Discord is a fantastic chat application for communities and people who play games together. Element is an awesome open source, E2E encrypted, and decentralized Matrix client. I would like to take aspects of both of these and mix in fast start times, low memory usage, and create a great client for groups and gaming chat with easy audio/video calls.
In addition to those functional feats, I'd like to build Ping in a way that makes it relatively easy to support multiple platforms with shared code. This may be a fools errand, but it sounds like an interesting challenge! In doing so, I expect some boundaries will be pushed resulting in fixes and features upstreamed, helping the community overall.
Short Term (tasks that could be done in the foreseeable future)
Long Term (aspirational but objective setting things)
Install Rust and optionally Docker and Docker Compose or Podman and Podman Compose for running the test Synapse server.
To build:
cargo build
To format and lint:
cargo fmt
cargo clippy
P.S. Using cargo watch helps to improve the experience.
To start the test Synpase server, use Docker Compose or Podman Compose:
docker-compose -f containers/dev.docker-compose.yml up
podman-compose -f containers/dev.docker-compose.yml up
To stop the test Synpase server, use Docker Compose or Podman Compose:
docker-compose -f containers/dev.docker-compose.yml down
podman-compose -f containers/dev.docker-compose.yml down
Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for how to work on the project.
