I literally ran `flutter create` and pushed this 5 minutes ago. There is no working app. I'm hopeful that a few privacy-conscious developers can come together and build a truly private app for families.
That's great! I actually want to build this as a client app for matrix.org backend. If you don't mind, could you share a few use-cases or feature ideas that would appeal to you?
- 1 on 1 messaging with family, and friends, using E2E. This includes picture sharing, both from links, and taking a picture with the camera on the device.
- group chats, mostly perminate rooms, some bridged to IRC channels.
- 1 on 1 video calling.
- 1 on 1 video calling.
One of the big things I have noticed while using riot, is that I tend to re-upload images, or files that I share with different users. If there were a media/file share lookup, that allowed me to see a history of files I've uploaded* and get the link to them, it would be super helpful, and save on data usage.
*If the files were uploaded to nextcloud/owncloud, that would be great.
Another feature that would be super helpful, would be a "send when network is back" option. Riot gives the option to resend, or cancel, but this requires I remember to resend the messages/uploads. once I get back into cell tower/wifi range.
I am often in remote areas of Texas, where there is no coverage, and this would be super helpful.
- simple view, no bubble chats. :]
if you have any more questions, feel free to email me: hn-comments34452@dreamphase.net
or mesg me: @captain_harlock:christianlifefm.com
Do you have a donation page, or any way for me to sponsor some of the development?
