Uniform Chat Server

A homeserver for Matrix, the open chat protocol. It runs with a dashboard in the terminal, or without one as a service.

Accounts, rooms, messages, sync, profiles, typing, receipts, the room directory, files and end-to-end encryption work; federation with other servers is being built and is off by default.

Note

The server is in early development. Keep its registration closed, and do not rely on it for important conversations yet.
