It 0021 uses the open communication protocol [XMPP (Jabber)][xmpp]. The user interface 0022 makes use of [Kirigami][kirigami-website] and [QtQuick][qtquick], while the 0023 back-end of Kaidan is entirely written in C++ using [Qt][qt] and the Qt-based 0024 XMPP library [QXmpp][qxmpp]. 0025 0026 Kaidan runs on mobile and desktop systems including Linux, Windows, macOS, 0027 Android, Plasma Mobile and Ubuntu Touch. 0028 Unfortunately, we are not able to provide builds for all platforms at the moment 0029 due to little developer resources. 0030 0031 Kaidan does *not* have all basic features yet and has still some stability 0032 issues. Do not expect it to be as good as the currently dominating instant 0033 messaging clients. 0034 0035 If you are interested in the technical features, you can have a 0036 look at Kaidan's [overview page][overview] including XEPs and RFCs. 0037 0038 ## Using and Building Kaidan 0039 0040 Downloadable builds are available on [Kaidan's download page][downloads]. 0041 Instructions for using ready-made (nightly / stable) builds and for building 0042 Kaidan yourself can be found in our [Wiki][wiki]. 0043 0044 ## Dependencies 0045 0046 Here are the general dependencies of Kaidan: 0047 * [Qt][qt-build-sources] (Core Concurrent Qml Quick Svg Sql QuickControls2 Xml Multimedia Positioning Location) (>= 5.15.0) 0048 * [QXmpp][qxmpp] (with OMEMO) (>= 1.5.0) 0049 * [Kirigami 2][kirigami-repo] (>= 5.67.0) 0050 * [Kirigami Addons][kirigami-addons] 0051 * [KQuickImageEditor][kquickimageeditor] (>= 0.2.0) 0052 * [ECM (extra-cmake-modules)][ecm] 0053 * [ZXing-cpp][zxing-cpp] (>= 1.0.8) 0054 * [KNotifications][knotifications] (`-DUSE_KNOTIFICATIONS=OFF` to disable) 0055 0056 ## Contributing 0057 0058 If you are interested in contributing to Kaidan, please have a look at our 0059 [contribution guidelines][contributing].
