Yes I should reinvigorate my efforts on a Matrix client, but Rudi and Dylan have decided to make Transponder instead of Matriksi because they prefer Python to C++

I've been investigating WebRTC with a thought to getting video calling working with Matrix on Sailfish. It won't work until we get an updated Gstreamer but otherwise would be very cool.

If someone wants to help out on the QML side of things that would be great

Ok I've put a bit of effort into revamping the QMatrixClient based harbour-matrix and its now starting to look like a reasonable client which I should release on OpenRepos soon.

I've update the library to the latest and got it working with opt-gcc for c++14 support, so thanks to rinigus for that.

If anyone wants to try a pre-release version, I've been updating builds on OBS https://build.merproject.org/package...harbour-matrix

Most of the work has been on the Rooms page, which now has some basic things like:
- Room Avatars
- Unread State
- Highlight Count
- Collapsable Tag Groups
- Accept Invite to Room

Theres also a bunch of stuff the library supports which can be easily added to the UI:
- Create Room
- Leave Room
- Set Room Tags
- Upload / Download file
- Message Editing / Redacting

Ok I could do with some more alpha testers for the above, theres a lot of little things here and there that have changed but the major stuff I've added is:

- Direct Chat grouping
- Basic Caching (roomlist, images)
- Notifications

I've been using it a while and it doesnt appear to eat all your data and destroy your battery life, but i'd be interested to hear reports from anyone who is a heavy user of Matrix and is in a lot of active rooms and such.

Hello,
thanks for improved.
Last release already seems heat battery

I will test it

Wow this client is great! I will test it on my Xperia X but I'm not a heavy Matrix user.

Nurmonjoki now support WebRTC powered by @r0kk3rz.

Why there is no matriksi client for sailfish os anymore? Not in openrepos.net either github.com?

is forked by: https://github.com/arsh0r/harbour-matrix

Unfortunately Matrix on Sailfish is in various states of abandonment.

The original guys that started Matriksi dropped the project, and I continued it for a while under the harbour-matrix name
https://build.merproject.org/package...harbour-matrix
https://github.com/r0kk3rz/harbour-matrix

I'm not that interested in it anymore, and a few people have forked it.

I recently updated the libqmatrixclient version, and there's loads of cool functionality in there that needs to be plumbed in to the UI if someone wants to pick the project up

I know it's none of my business, but is there a reason why Matrix doesn't seem to be of so much interest any more?

And why isn't this software available on openrepos.net or the Jolla store?
