Thoughts about a matrix-rust-sdk connection

[gerion0]

I'm a happy user of Neochat and a regular reader of the Matrix Weekly Newsletter. Nearly in every Newsletter some changes in the matrix-rust-sdk are mentioned since it serves as test bed for the newer Matrix techniques and backs the next generation Element clients. As far as I know it should be the Matrix library that implements most of the specification.

Neochat, on the other hand offers me a much better user experience than the Element program family. It integrates way better into my KDE desktop, so that I prefer it over Element. It lacks some Matrix features, though, for which the right place to implement this library would be.

Therefore, I was wondering, if it would be possible to combine the two worlds and adapt libQuotient to be a Qt/C++-Matrix library that uses the matrix-rust-sdk for most of its functionality. I have not looked into the code of either of the two projects and have no clue of the internals of Matrix so I'm not qualified enough to have an opinion by myself. It is just an idea and I'm interested in your opinion about that topic.
