# Neochat

Neochat is a client for Matrix, the decentralized communication protocol for instant
messaging. It is a fork of Spectral, using KDE frameworks, most notably Kirigami,
KConfig and KI18n.

# Features

* Sending messages
* Sending files from clipboard and filesystem
* Reply to message (right-click on a message to access menu)
* Start a private chat (but not encrypted)
* Show notifications, for the moment there is only a global switch
to disable it. We plan to implement the configuration part of the
specification soon.
* Autocompletion of usernames in chat
* Emoji picker
* Basic room setting page
* Send and accept invitations
* /rainbow <message> (very important)
* /me <message>

NeoChat is still missing a few features to become a full-featured
Matrix client (most notably encryption support and video chat support).
We welcome contributions in this direction.
