How to Build
You need meson and jinja to build this project. Rust and cargo are also needed.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
On MacOS, you will need to:
brew install gtk3+ dbus bash
# empirically needs 3.22.19 or later of gtk3+
# ...and run configure as:
/usr/local/bin/bash -c ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
You may also need to comment out the notification.show block in
./fractal-gtk/src/app.rs as apparently notification.wait_for_action
is missing on MacOS.

The origin of Fractal
This project is based on ruma-gtk https://github.com/jplatte/ruma-gtk
Instead of using RUMA Client, Fractal calls directly to the matrix.org REST API.
The first version of this project was called guillotine, based on french revolution, in relation with the Riot client name, but it's a negative name so we decide to change for a math one.
The name Fractal was proposed by Regina Bíró.
