Lightweight, Decentralized Chat.
Telodendria is an extremely powerful, yet lightweight and portable chat server designed to be easy to install and configure. Powered by the Matrix protocol, Telodendria empowers everyone to run their own chat server on ordinary hardware, including old and embedded devices. Whether you want a simple chat server just for you and your friends and family, or want to talk to users on other Matrix homeservers but don't want to go through all the hastle of hosting a complicated, high-maintenance homeserver or joining an existing homeserver for privacy or other reasons, then Telodendria might be for you.
Matrix can be thought of as the successor to email, but it works very similar to iMessage, Discord, or direct messaging on most social media networks. The primary difference between Matrix and these other services, however, is that Matrix doesn't depend on one central authority, and is designed in such a way to respect your privacy. Matrix has proven itself over the last few years to be a reliable communication tool, and has only gotten more user-friendly over the course of its development. Matrix is capable enough that it can—and should—totally replace any other means of digital communication, and it offers a much higher degree of security, simplicity, and functionality.
Strictly speaking, Matrix itself is just the protocol by which clients and servers communicate. In order to use Matrix, we need implementations of both clients and servers. Telodendria is a server implementation of the Matrix protocol.
