# 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](https://community.kde.org/Android/FDroid)
|
|
and can also directly be downloaded from the [binary factory](https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Android/job/Neochat_android/).

## 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.
