A (barely working) native Wire client for Unix
In here you find the source code of Coax, a native client for Wire. The repository consists of a single Cargo workspace which contains several libraries which may or may not be useful individually. Together they form a client with a GTK+ UI for Unix-like operating systems.
This client is meant to be hackable with a small and (hopefully) easy to understand code base written in a compiled language (Rust). It may be useful for testing purposes. It can not replace any of the existing Wire clients. Its feature set is currently severely limited and basically just allows for sending and receiving text messages.
Not much is supported right now. In particular this client is currently NOT SECURE. There is no TLS cerificate pinning, nor is it possible to compare identity keys.
This workspace consists of the following libaries:
coax-net: Basic networking support (e.g. TLS connections) plus a tiny subset of HTTP/1.1.
coax-ws: Implements a subset of RFC 6455 (websocket protocol).
coax-data: Storage support based on SQLite.
coax-api: Wire API types with JSON serialisation.
coax-api-proto: Protocol buffers API corresponding to Wire's generic-message-proto.
coax-client: Client for Wire's HTTP API.
coax-actor: Higher level client which also utilises local storage and asynchronous notifications over websockets.
coax-gtk: A simplistic GUI to test the whole stack interactively.
Building the whole client depends on recent versions of
Individual libraries may have less dependencies. To start the build cd
into coax-gtk and type make install. The resulting executable is
installed into $HOME/.cargo/bin. On startup a configuration file
coax.toml is written to $HOME/.config/coax/.
