Chat Preview

A terminal Matrix client written in Go using mautrix and tview.

Basic usage is possible, but expect bugs and missing features.

Discussion

Matrix room: #gomuks:maunium.net

Installation

Once the client becomes actually usable, I'll start making GitHub releases with precompiled executables. For now, you can either download a CI build from dl.maunium.net/programs/gomuks or compile from source:

  1. Install Go 1.10 or higher
  2. Run go get -u maunium.net/go/gomuks
  3. gomuks should now be in $GOPATH/bin/gomuks

Developing

Running go install in $GOPATH/src/maunium.net/go/gomuks will recompile the project and dependencies into $GOPATH/bin/gomuks.

For debugging, use tail -f /tmp/gomuks-debug.log and write to it using the methods in the maunium.net/go/gomuks/debug package:

import (
	"maunium.net/go/gomuks/debug"
)
...
func Foo() {
	debug.Print("WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!?!?")
}
