About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Before adoption

Web builds need tooling beyond Flutter

Version 2.25.0 requires Flutter 3.38.9, while the web target also needs Rust, yq, and the flutter_vodozemac prepare-web.sh step.

Sources: [2][4]

The client and Matrix homeserver are separate components

config.json points the client at a selected homeserver. This repository does not itself provide the complete decentralized messaging backend.

Supplemental curator note

Twake Chat is a Matrix-based decentralized chat client supporting messages and files, voice messages, public and private groups, Spaces, end-to-end encryption, and cross-signing. Version 2.25.0 expects Flutter 3.38.9, and the web target requires Rust plus a flutter_vodozemac preparation step. The client selects a Matrix homeserver; operating the server itself is a separate concern.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Clone Twake Chat v2.25.0

    Prepare Flutter 3.38.9, Chrome, Rust, and yq before checking out the release source.

    git clone --depth 1 --branch v2.25.0 https://github.com/linagora/twake-on-matrix.git && cd twake-on-matrix
  2. 2

    Prepare web dependencies and configuration

    Adjust config.json to point at the Matrix homeserver and test environment you intend to use.

    cp config.sample.json config.json && ./scripts/prepare-web.sh && flutter pub get && flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
  3. 3

    Run in Chrome

    Start the Flutter web client and verify login and end-to-end encryption against the configured Matrix homeserver.

    flutter run -d chrome
