Fractal

Fractal is a Gtk+ Matrix.org client written in Rust.

Come to talk with us in Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#fractal-gtk:matrix.org
Main repository: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal/

How to Build

You need meson and ninja to build this project. Rust and cargo are also needed.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install

On MacOS, you will need to:

brew install gtk3+ dbus bash
# empirically needs 3.22.19 or later of gtk3+
# ...and run configure as:
/usr/local/bin/bash -c ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

You may also need to comment out the notification.show block in ./fractal-gtk/src/app.rs as apparently notification.wait_for_action is missing on MacOS.

Supported m.room.message (msgtypes)

msgtypes	Recv	Send
m.text	Done	Done
m.emote	Done	Done
m.notice
m.image	Done	Done
m.file	Done	Done
m.location
m.video	Done	Done
m.audio	Done	Done

The origin of Fractal

This project is based on ruma-gtk https://github.com/jplatte/ruma-gtk

Instead of using RUMA Client, Fractal calls directly to the matrix.org REST API.

The first version of this project was called guillotine, based on french revolution, in relation with the Riot client name, but it's a negative name so we decide to change for a math one.

The name Fractal was proposed by Regina Bíró.
