# SchildiChat-Desktop
|
|
|
|
SchildiChat-Desktop is a fork of [Element-Web](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web)/[-Desktop](https://github.com/vector-im/element-desktop).
|
|
|
|
The most important changes of SchildiChat-Desktop compared to Element are:
|
|
|
|
- A unifed chat list for both direct and group chats
|
|
- Message bubbles
|
|
- Bigger items in the room list
|
|
|
|
While SchildiChat-Desktop should be already usable as is, it's still better seen as a
|
|
proof-of-concept rather than a finished product, as there are still a few UX bugs
|
|
remaining, and no ways to configure Schildi's features.
|
|
Furthermore, I don't know how much more work I'm going to put into this, but
|
|
if anybody wants to help improving it, contributions are welcome!

# Building SchildiChat-Desktop
|
|
|
|
This particular repo is a wrapper project for element-desktop, element-web, matrix-react-sdk and matrix-js-sdk, in order to build SchildiChat-Desktop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Debian compilation dependencies
|
|
|
|
Since Debian is usually slow to update packages on its stable releases, some dependencies
|
|
might not be recent enough to building Schildi.
|
|
Here are the dependencies which I had to install for compilation on Debian 10:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# apt install vim curl git make gcc g++ libsqlcipher-dev pkg-config libsecret-1-dev bsdtar
|
|
# curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -
|
|
# apt update
|
|
# apt install nodejs
|
|
|
|
# curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add -
|
|
# echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
|
|
# apt update
|
|
# apt install yarn
|
|
|
|
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
|
|
$ echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.cargo/bin"' >> .bashrc
|
|
$ source .bashrc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Initial setup
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-desktop.git
|
|
cd schildichat-desktop
|
|
./setup.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
`make`
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Installable packages should appear in element-desktop/dist/.
