monocles chat

This is a fork of Conversations to implement features of use to the Sopranica project.

The monocles chat app allows you to join a worldwide communication network. It especially focuses on features useful to users who want to contact those on other networks as well, such as SMS-enabled phone numbers.

Based on the app Conversations, but with unique features:

• Messages with both media and text, including animated media
• Unobtrusive display of subject lines, where present
• Links to known contacts are shown with their name
• Show timestamps for calls
• Integrates with gateways' add contact flows
• When using a gateway to the phone network, integrate with the native Android Phone app
• Address book integration
• Tag contacts and channels and browse by tag
• Command UI

If you have code or patches you wish to contribute, the maintainer's preferred mechanism is a git pull request. Push your changes to a git repository somewhere, for example:

git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~yourname/cheogram-android
git push -u origin master

Then generate the pull request:

git fetch upstream master
git request-pull -p upstream/master origin

And copy-paste the result into a plain-text email to: dev@singpolyma.net

You may alternately use a patch-based approach as described on https://git-send-email.io
