Re: Matrix - clients
 

Yes it might be doable.
I just installed synapse and have been studying how the api works.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

i would fukken LOVE to have a native matrix client. first person to make a client that goes 'ping' when i get a message with my phone locked gets a prize (riot does not in fact do this on SFOS)

Re: Matrix - clients
 

It looks like the matrix nio Python library does support E2E encryption; I think that would be a good start for a SFOS client given that python3/QML is well integrated into the OS.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Yes and it is a catastrophy to implement the stuff to nio because it is *real* complex.

• ca. 56MB additional libraries
• python async seems not to really cooperate with pyotherside
• the e2e-stuff looks good but the key handling is weird
• some stuff is not implemented which is needed for a full client in nio so it must be implemented on the nio side too.

(and that is why it takes so much time to reimplement my bluepill client from matrix-python-sdk to nio)

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Another way would be to update habour-matrix it is based on QMatrixClient and this got updated to Quotient and the new library also supports E2E encryption.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Ah, you were the one working on the SFOS app I was thinking of. Do you have a github repo or something? I'd love to try and help out.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

I expect there would be a ton of breaking changes if you were to try and update the library in harbour-matrix. It also looks like they now require a much newer GCC than we currently have in SFOS as well, so you might need to wait until gcc8 is released or do another hack like I did with gcc6

I got tired of constantly trying to keep up with each wave of changes, which is the main reason I stopped working in it in the first place.

If anyone wants help understanding the code base, i'm happy to help

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Bluepill does exactly that (and also lights up the LED). You should be able to find (old) discussion of the client elsewhere on this forum. I'm using version 0.1-14 (find it at https://gitlab.com/cy8aer/bluepill/p...pe=tags&page=1, download the armv7hl deployer, unzip it and install the RPM file).

This client isn't feature complete yet, so I fall back to Riot sometimes, but getting notifications on SFOS was a huge step forward. Development seems to be moving forwards, but slowly. I wish that I had the time to contribute myself.

cy8aer, if you're reading this, I really appreciate what you have done so far!

EDIT: I speed-read this thread too quickly, and missed cy8ear's post from yesterday! Sorry! :o
