|
The goal of this project is to propose a new open-source implementation of the famous MSN messenger instant-messaging client.

# Technical stack
|
|
|
|
## Back-end
|
|
|
|
This project is based on the [Matrix.org](https://matrix.org/) building blocks (back-end and front-end SDK) to avoid to
|
|
reinvent the wheel. This solution provides:
|
|
|
|
- [Open-source protocol](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.9/).
|
|
- Features expected for a messaging solution in 2024 (multi-devices management, emojis, integrations, redaction,
|
|
spaces, ...).
|
|
- Multi-platforms clients (Android, iOS and Webclient).
|
|
- SDK available for each platform and a new Rust sdk supporting all the previously listed platforms.
|
|
- Conference stack ([Element Call](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call)).
|
|
- End-to-end encryption.
|
|
- Federation management.
|
|
- Capability to host all the back-end infrastructure by ourself.
|
|
|
|
## Front-end
|
|
|
|
First, the project involves writing a client compatible with the [Matrix.org (client-server
|
|
API)](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.9/client-server-api/) protocol.
|
|
|
|
Even if the Rust SDK is still in beta, it seems to be the future one (cf. [Element X - experience the future of
|
|
Element!](https://element.io/blog/element-x-experience-the-future-of-element/)) and a good choice for someone starting a
|
|
new client... from my point of vue.
|
|
|
|
The SDK choosen, a Rust (to avoid to use the bindings provided by the matrix-rust-sdk and mostly because I want to
|
|
learn Rust) graphical library should be selected. The [Dioxus](https://dioxuslabs.com/) one seems to do the job:
|
|
|
|
- React-inspired library for Rust.
|
|
- Multi-platforms (use of Webview or WGPU-enabled renderers).
|
