@ -8,16 +8,19 @@ Basically, Matrix becomes your everything chat client!
**WARNING** Easybridge is still very experimental and crashes sometimes.
Current backend status:
Current protocol status:
- IRC: text messages only (private messages and public channels). Has bugs, most notably: messages will be duplicated if several users connect to the same channel.
- XMPP: text messages only (private chat and MUCs), no backlog, no avatars, no file transfer.
- Mattermost: in quite good shape. Private & group conversations with text messages and attachments (images or other files). Handles retrieving of message backlog, user avatars and room avatars from the server.
- Facebook messenger: in quite good shape, handles private messages and groups, text messages, attachments, stickers, profile pictures (low res only), backlog. Sometimes disconnects from the server and messages stop arriving.
Adding a backend shouldn't be too hard if a Golang library exists to connect to that protocol.
Easybridge can also spawn an external process to communicate using a certain protocol if no Golang library
is available (this is currently used by the Facebook Messenger backend which is written in Python using the `fbchat` library).
Current features:
- Backends: IRC, XMPP, Mattermost, Facebook Messenger (more to come)
- Handles private chats (one-to-one conversations) as well as group chats (sometimes called channels, multi-user chats, or chat rooms)
- Automatic setup of Matrix rooms that bridge to outside rooms
- Room name and topic synchronization (partially)
