Fractal
Fractal is a Matrix messaging app for GNOME written in Rust. Its interface is optimized for collaboration in large groups, such as free software projects.
- Come to talk to us on Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#fractal-gtk:matrix.org
- Main repository: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal/
Build Instructions
You need Meson and Ninja (as well as Rust and Cargo) to build Fractal.
GNU/Linux
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
macOS
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.
