    @kde @kde how I wish Neochat had a full implementation of E2EE. I (and probably several others) would happily make the switch from Element.

      There are two ways of getting features into KDE apps that work better than wishing 😉 :

      1. contributing to our fundraiser, or donating to the project, or whatever. That is, providing the developers with means to get stuff done, either by buying them time so they can spend it on developing, or hiring help. If you are on this thread it is because you are doing this, or considering doing this, or whatever, so we can assume you already know about this.

      2. contributing with your know-how. Check out our get involved page, as it describes in detail how you can help with the implementation the things NeoChat needs.

      Libquotient just added cross-signing support, which works in Neochat if it’s build against the new version. I’m not sure what else was missing from E2EE support.

      You can download the exe for free. The price is a donation + offsetting the cost to publish apps to the Microsoft store

    Does it do regular SMS? If you say yes, then my next question will be, does it do RCS? Or is that monopolized by Google? Because I’d extremely happy to leave Google’s shitty messenger.

      @alextecplayz@techhub.social Technically, you could use a Beeper account (or another homeserver with mautrix-gmessages set up) with NeoChat, but that’s not guaranteed to work by either side.
