I was listening to the Ubuntu Touch Audiocast in my car yesterday (https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-blo...krillekast-189). And they featured an interview with Christian Pauly (aka Krille) who recently released a Matrix client named FluffyChat for ubports (https://github.com/ChristianPauly/fluffychat).

This made me think about that point in history a long time ago when Sailfish, Ubuntu Touch, FirefoxOS and WebOS (don't know for sure if that one was still around?) were advertised as the bright future of Linux on the phone. One thing I remember in particular. Someone commented that application development would be pure bliss as QML code would natively run on all of these devices (if memory serves me right). Develop once, run everywhere. A fantasy? For real? Who knows?

Again, being a total ignoramus, I wonder how much of an effort porting FluffyChat (a native QML app) to Sailfish might be?

While I dearly hope for r0kk3rz' Matrix client to flourish, I was thinking there might be some code that could be adapted, thereby saving some of the effort.
