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

• Qt5 (5.8 is used for development).
• CMake 3.1 or greater.
• A compiler that supports C++11.
  • Clang 3.3 (or greater).
  • GCC 5 (or greater).
