# Brawl
|
|
|
|
A minimal [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) chat client, focused on performance, offline functionality and working on my Lumia 950 Windows Phone.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Brawl can currently log you in, or pick an existing session, sync already joined rooms, fill gaps in the timeline, and send text messages. Everything is stored locally.
|
|
|
|
Here's an (outdated) GIF of what that looks like, also see link below to try it out:

## Why
|
|
|
|
I started writing Brawl both to have a functional matrix client on my aging phone, and to play around with some ideas I had how to use indexeddb optimally in a matrix client.
|
|
|
|
For every interaction or network response (syncing, filling a gap), Brawl starts a transaction in indexedb, and only commits it once everything went well. This helps to keep your storage always in a consistent state. As little data is kept in memory as well, and while scrolling in the above GIF, everything is loaded straight from the storage.
