Matrix Client Tutorial

"This book is an introduction to creating a client using the Matrix Client-Server API

. It will show how to make HTTP calls to a Matrix homeserver, and discuss issues that clients will need to consider, such as reliability and security issues. It does not attempt to be a comprehensive guide to the entire Client-Server API, but will point you to the relevant portions of spec for further details.

You should read this book if:

you are creating a Matrix library/SDK,

you are writing a Matrix client without the use of a library/SDK, or

you want to get a better understanding of how Matrix works. "

Blasta is a collaborative bookmarks manager for organizing online content.

It allows you to add links to your personal collection of links, to categorize them with keywords, and to share and synchronize your collection among your own software, devices, machines, and also with others.

The ability of Blasta to display to you the links that other people have collected and shared, as well as showing you who else has bookmarked a specific link is what makes Blasta a collaborative system.

You can also view the links collected by others, and subscribe to the links of people whose lists you deem to be interesting.

Blasta does not limit you to save links of certain types; you can save links of types adc, dweb, ed2k, feed, ftp, gemini, geo, gopher, http, ipfs, irc, magnet, mailto, monero, mms, news, sip, udp, xmpp and any scheme and type that you desire."
