The motivation behind the project is to provide a native desktop app for Matrix that feels more like a mainstream chat app (Riot, Telegram etc) and less like an IRC client.

What is nheko?
Desktop client for Matrix using Qt and C++17.
Most of the features you would expect from a chat application are missing right now but we are getting close to a more feature complete client. Specifically there is support for:
E2E encryption. User registration. Creating, joining & leaving rooms. Sending & receiving invites. Sending & receiving files and emoji (inline widgets for images, audio and file messages). Replies with text, images and other media (and actually render them as inline widgets). Typing notifications. Username auto-completion. Message & mention notifications. Redacting messages. Read receipts. Basic communities support. Room switcher (ctrl-K). Light, Dark & System themes.
Nheko is one of the most user friendly but minimal and clean matrix clients I have ever used. I use it as my main matrix client day to day and have had very little issues
