# Neo v4: iris
-Currently this is only gui work, no functional API connections yet.
+A lightweight [Matrix](https://matrix.org) webclient, with basic functionality.
The latest build is hosted at [neo.lain.haus/neo](https://neo.lain.haus/neo)
## Building
-Keep in mind it's not useable rn;
+Keep in mind it's not quite useable currently;
`npm install`
`gulp build`
static assets should now be in `build/`
## Vision
-Currently this is just gui work. This will be as protocol-agnostic as possible,
-but the reference backend implementation will be for [Matrix](https://matrix.org)
+There's demand for nicer Matrix clients in general, and I've been trying to fill this gap for a while now. I chose a web-based approach, since those are the technologies I like, and enjoy using. This is very much a 'fun' sid project at the moment.
+Neo doesn't use Electron, but might be packaged with some Rust based webview for a more 'desktop' experience. If you're religiously opposed to JavaScript I'll refer you to [nuclear's readme](https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear#what-if-i-am-religiously-opposed-to-using-electron-for-any-and-all-purposes)
## Why the name
Neo and the rabbit logo are both from Matrix. Iris is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods in Greek mythology, so I found that fitting as well.
