Hey. Im thinking about creating matrix client based on telegram. I think their UI/UX is one of the best among messengers. Plus their android app is open source.

I have to take couple of things in consideration, like: licensing, technical details and some more. Its very possible from the technical perspective and pretty unclear from the licensing/legal perspective (since they could change license any moment or even go private).

In this post i would mostly like to know if open source community even wants anything related to telegram. Not everyone likes it. The project would target mainly open source community and will be public as well.

So the questions: Do you think we would want it? And would you personally try it?

Thank you <3

EDIT: :V If you think its bad idea, please tell me. I see much of positive response (and i feel pretty happy about it), but i have to be real, so if you think im wrong or you see any problems, please speak up :)

EDIT#2: Work has been started :P

I use element to try out matrix, I haven't used telegram. But I'd try it a new client.
