matrix-commander-rs

simple but convenient CLI-based Matrix client app for sending and receiving

Help create this Rust program!

This project is currently only a vision. The Python package matrix-commander exists. See matrix-commander. The vision is to have a compatible program in Rust. I cannot do it myself, but I can coordinate and merge your pull requests. This project depends on you. The project will only advance if you provide the code. Have a look at the repo matrix-commander-rs. Please help! :pray: Please contribute code to make this vision a reality, and to one day have a functional matrix-commander crate. Safe!

:heart: :clap: :pray:

What you can do

• Give a :star: on Github. The more stars on Github, the more people will see the project. Do it now, thanks. :clap:
• Talk about it to your friends, post it in chatrooms, Hacker News, etc. This will give exposure and help find people willing to provide code, contributions, and PRs.
• Write code yourself. :rocket:

Ideas

• Make it compatible with the Python version of matrix-commander, i.e. same config file, same CLI, etc. The user should be able to run the Python matrix-commander in the morning, and the Rust matrix-commander in the afternoon.
• Use similar modules as used in Python, e.g. argparse.
• Use matrix-rust-sdk.
• Use ruma if and where needed.
• Have a look at this small example matrix-send-rs.

Immediate action items

• re-create the argparse interface in Rust, making it as similar as possible to the Python argparse CLI code
• create Github workflow so that the crate on crates.io gets generated automatically on pull request or push.
• implement login via password (see some reference example code in matrix-send-rs) and SSO
• ...
