Revision history [back]

Here I want to collect solutions for IM that use the Matrix.org protocol and work in SailfishOS, or can be expected to work soon. I haven't tested any of them, so I'm just listing approaches I know about so far and hope some people can report usage experience in the answers Here's the information I've collected about the topic so far:

• Matrix-plugin for libpurple, which somehow works with Sailfish's built-in Telepathy implementation.

• Sailfish version of Tensor, a Qt-based matrix client (separate TJC-thread here)

• Riot.im, a full-blown implementation of Matrix-based messaging, including video call via WebRTC. Currently only Android and web clients. Has anyone tried it under Sailfish?

Feel free to add other things you find, and of course report your experiences!

Keep in mind Matrix is not just text messages. It supports file sharing, conferences. In your answers, please include which features are supported by the solution you mention. Encryption is also a topic of interest, of course. Ideally, we would get a solution that is as full-featured as Riot.im, including voice and video calls! In Riot.im, that's accomplished by including WebRTC functionality that uses Matrix as a signalling layer.
