Now it will save a map from display name to id and use that to generate clean matrix.to links. This also make sure the colors used for the preview are correct by using NeoChatUser and fix the bug with the regex by simply removing the regex.
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.
Get it
There is no stable release for now, but a Flatpak version is available for the nightly version:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kdeapps --from https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo
flatpak install kdeapps org.kde.neochat
A nigthly build is also available for Android in the KDE nightly F-Droid repo and can also directly be downloaded from the binary factory.
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 (very important)
- /me
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.
