## About

`iamb` is a Matrix client for the terminal that uses Vim keybindings.

This project is a work-in-progress, and there's still a lot to be implemented,
but much of the basic client functionality is already present.

## Documentation

You can find documentation for installing, configuring, and using iamb on its
website, [iamb.chat].

## Installation

Install Rust and Cargo, and then run:

```
cargo install iamb
```

## Configuration

You can create a basic configuration in `$CONFIG_DIR/iamb/config.json` that looks like:

```json
{
    "profiles": {
        "example.com": {
            "url": "https://example.com",
            "user_id": "@user:example.com"
        }
    }
}
```

## Comparison With Other Clients

To get an idea of what is and isn't yet implemented, here is a subset of the
Matrix website's [features comparison table][client-comparison-matrix], showing
two other TUI clients and Element Web:
