nobilis

A chat daemon. It speaks IRC, Discord, Matrix, Kick and Sneedchat (SneedChat, the chat built into Kiwi Farms), and translates all of them into one unified JSON model — accounts, buffers, messages — served over a Unix socket.

Frontends talk to that model and never to a protocol. Two exist today: moho, an Electron desktop client, and dms-chat, a Quickshell/QML shell plugin.

Building

cargo build --release

Wire protocol

Newline-delimited JSON over a Unix socket at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/nobilis/nobilis.sock:

request:  {"id": 1, "method": "sendMessage", "params": {...}}
response: {"id": 1, "result": {...}}  or  {"id": 1, "error": "..."}
push:     {"event": "message", "data": {...}}

The calls and events are whatever src/rpc/methods.rs matches on and the runtime emits - that is the one list that cannot go stale, and moho's ARCHITECTURE.md describes the shape of it and what each backend implements. The ones every service shares are listAccounts, listBuffers, sendMessage, editMessage, deleteMessage, toggleReaction, subscribe and getBacklog; everything a service has that the others do not is a call of its own.

message, presenceChange, messageUpdated, messageDeleted and reactionsChanged are only delivered to clients that called subscribe for that buffer; everything else broadcasts.
