Resolve https://invent.kde.org/network/neochat/-/issues/547 This patch attempts to add proxy config support to NeoChat so people could set a HTTP or Socks5 proxy for anonymity or privacy/censorship-circumvention reason. Currently this will only allows setting proxy type, host and port (which should be usable for most of the cases). Settings in that page needs to be applied by clicking the Apply button so the proxy setting won't accidentally get changed. Proxy is disabled (use System Default option) by default.
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
A stable release is available for download for Linux distributions.
Along with the stable release, 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 nightly build is also available for Android in the KDE nightly F-Droid repo and can also directly be downloaded from the binary factory.
Nightly builds for Windows, MacOS and AppImages can also 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.
