Forward messages to matrix about watomatic HOT 3 OPEN

It could be implemented in a similar way to SmsMatrix

I think we should think of a plugin architecture for Watomatic to implement these kinds of features. Each plugin will be a separate app and when installed will communicate with main Watomatic app to do its job. In this case the plugin can be a Matrix client which forwards messages received by Watomatic to Matrix just like SmsMatrix.

Implementing plugin architecture may require more work but these are some of the benefits:

• Main app will remain simple and less bloated. Users who need extra features can install plugin apps
• Third party devs can implement additional functionality without having to reimplement Watomatic

Cannot promise or give a timeline for this but I think it will be a good feature to have. Will add it to the queue.

I have made a larg-ish (to me) donation. I'm not sure if it can be linked back to me

🤗 We cannot trace it exactly to you on Librapay but we did receive a large donation yesterday. You alone helped bump the goal from 2% to 8% 😃. Thanks a lot for your support and kind words! Thats what keeps us going

I love that approach, really good idea! I've done done android dev before but it's something I've been meaning to play with so maybe I can help the project in other ways too. I'm glad my donation helped.

P.S. I didn't even realize who you were at the time of the conversation, despite using the app for a while but we had a great chat about vanishing messages on Mastodon the other day (I'm Jaik/twoft) so it's great to meet you!
