  • nheko

    Desktop client for Matrix using Qt and C++20.

  • To give an anecdoetal example, we can look at the popular chatting application Discord. Discord runs on Electron and is a generally ineffective and heavy program. Discord can consistantly use around 10% of my CPU and over a gigabyte of my RAM during some times of usage. Compare this to a simple application like nheko (A QT-based chatting application for the Matrix-protocol). This application isn't based on Electron, yet still delivers much of the same features as Discord. I have observed nheko to use, on average, less than 1% of the CPU and uses less RAM when compared to Discord while, generally speaking, offering much of the same features. This comparision is a sign Discord could do way better in terms of preformance while still offering quality service.
