@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.

Is the F-Droid version abandoned? It crashes on startup on my phone.

Shouldn’t the mascot be a cat with sunglasses and a lather coat?

That didn’t answer the question. Is there an answer to this question, or a way to find the answer? I don’t see any way to see Feature Requests for NeoChat. Only instructions for submitting PRs.

Friendly suggestion - it might be a good idea to link to a longer explanation, esp. around the E2EE, here :)

“everything in the current stable specification with the notable exceptions of VoIP, threads and some aspects of End-to-End Encryption are supported”
