So around 2018 I was busy writing my own Matrix client, as anyone does. It was called Trinity, and it featured a Discord-like interface. <!--more-->

TODO

_Note: This is a very old screenshot, and later versions of the client looked much better than this. Unfortunately, I haven't found any later screenshots._

This was written in Qt5 and QML, and even though I'm testing this ~3 years later - the codebase will still work! Yes that's right, thats a testament to _my old programming ability_, Qt backwards compatibility, and Matrix's specification conformance. Pretty nice! For some reason, the directory and communities tab doesn't work but I haven't looked into why.

For historical purposes, it is now archived on my [sourcehut](https://git.sr.ht/~redstrate/trinity), along with it's old [AUR package](https://git.sr.ht/~redstrate/pkgbuilds/tree/main/item/trinity-git/PKGBUILD). You can read more on it's project page.

**Edit:** I updated the source code links to their new home at sourcehut.
