Integrate Wechat with Matrix with the power of Wechaty #1737
Comments
Let's do it! :) |
UPDATE May 7At first, Thanks @ericmigi for introducing @tulir to me. @tulir has very rich experiences with building the matrix bridges such as: Room / Bridge TypesAccording to the Matrix Bridge Documentation, there are two types of rooms:
and eight Types of bridges (simplest first):
It seems more likely the Wechaty Bot in Matrix should create Matrix Bridge SDKsWe will use a Node.js SDK because Wechaty is written in JS/TS. There are two SDK that we can select:
According to the discussion with @tulir, the So I will choose one of the two to start with, not decided yet. ConclusionAs far as my understanding, I believe the Matrix-Wechaty-Bridge will be mostly like the Matrix-WhatsApp puppeting bridge because we also use a hacked API to communicate with WhatsApp Server, and they are all required to log in by scan a QR Code. |
Move to wechaty/matrix-appservice#1 |

Matrix is like Pidgin on your Phone.
Pidgin try to IM all your friends in one place in Linux, and with Matrix you can have your Phone clinet with your private server which is highly customized. Matrix did not use XMPP protocol, it's server uses REST so that it could be more easy to extend.
This week I had a great talk with YC partner Eric @ericmigi, who is a serial entrepreneur and also a geek with technology. He uses Matrix a lot and almost integrated all the instance messanger to his Matrix.
But, the matrix does not support Wechat yet. So we'd like to introduce a matrix-wechat bridge to implement the Wechat protocol, and fill the gap between Matrix and Wechat.
Currently, @ericmigi provide some links that will help us to kick off a starter, hope we could make a workable POC soon, and any contribution will be welcome.
