 # Fractal
 
-Fractal is a Matrix messaging app for GNOME written in Rust. Its interface is optimized for collaboration in 
large groups, such as free software projects.

 ## Work in Progress
-We already talked several times in the past about rewriting the application, but for different reasons we 
didn't do it. Now that the [matrix-rust-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk) exists, which 
does a lot of the heavy lifting for us, we have a good starting point to build Fractal without the need to 
implement every single feature from the Matrix API. Finally with the release of GTK4 we would need to rework 
most of Fractal's code anyways. Therefore, it just makes sense to start over and build Fractal with all the 
features (e.g end-to-end encryption) we have in mind.
 
-A year ago we started working on rewriting [Fractal](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/) from scratch 
using [GTK4](https://www.gtk.org/) and the [matrix-rust-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk). 
This effort was called fractal-next.

-Fractal-next now replaced our previous codebase, and has become the new nightly version. It isn't yet ready 
for a release and you can follow along our progress towards it by looking at the [feature parity 
milestone](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/milestones/18) and [Fractal v5 
(fractal-next)](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/milestones/21).

 ### Password Storage
 
 Fractal uses [Secret Service](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec/)
-to store the password so you should have something providing
-that service on your system. If you're using GNOME or KDE

 ## Frequently Asked Questions
 
 * Does Fractal have encryption support? Will it ever?
 
-Yes, Fractal-next has encryption support using Cross-Signing.
-See <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/issues/717> for more info on the state of encryption.

 * Can I run Fractal with the window closed?
 
-Currently Fractal does not support this. Fractal is a
-GNOME application, and accordingly adheres GNOME
-guidelines and paradigms. This will be revisited if or
-when GNOME gets a "Do Not Disturb" feature.

 ## The origin of Fractal
 
-Fractal-next is a complete rewrite of Fractal built on top of the 
[matrix-rust-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk) using [GTK4](https://gtk.org/).
+Fractal-next is a complete rewrite of Fractal built on top of the
+[matrix-rust-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk) using [GTK4](https://gtk.org/).
 
 The previous version of Fractal was using GTK3 and its own backend to talk to a matrix homeserver.
 Initial versions were based on Fest <https://github.com/fest-im/fest>, formerly called ruma-gtk.
-In the origins of the project it was called guillotine, based on French revolution,
-in relation with the Riot client name, but it's a negative name so we decide
-to change for a math one.

 The name Fractal was proposed by Regina Bíró.
