Project Details
Spaces are a feature in Matrix to group related rooms. Spaces can be nested and have their summary page. A room may belong to multiple spaces at the same time. This makes discovery of rooms easier for end-users, and at the same time allows communities to drive more participation.
NeoChat didn't support spaces. Having this support will make it a more viable and feature-rich Matrix client, up to date with the latest Matrix specification.
Spaces were introduced in MSC1772 and there is a related open feature request on the NeoChat bug tracker.
I will add support for Matrix Spaces in NeoChat. After this project, NeoChat should be able to show Spaces, filter rooms based on which room is part of a Space, create / edit Spaces and let users explore and join rooms under a Space.
