<p>
<b>Telodendria</b> is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation written from
scratch in ANSI C. It is designed to be lightweight and simple, yet
functional. <b>Telodendria</b> differentiates itself from other Matrix
homeserver implementations because it:
<ul>
<li>
Is written in C, a stable, low-level programming language with a long
history, low build and runtime overhead, and wide compatibility.
</li>
<li>
Is written with minimalism as a primary design goal. Whenever possible
and practical, no third-party libraries are pulled in to the source
code. Everything <b>Telodendria</b> needs is custom written. As a
result, <b>Telodendria</b> depends only on a standard C compiler and
POSIX C library to be built, both of which are built in to a good
Unix-style operating system already, which means you shouldn't have
to install anything extra.
</li>
<li>
Uses a flat-file directory structure to store data instead of a
database. This has a number of advantages:
<ul>
<li>It makes setup and maintenance much easier.</li>
<li>
It allows <b>Telodendria</b> to run on systems with fewer resources.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Is packaged as a single small, statically-linked and highly-optimized
binary that can be run just about anywhere. It is designed to be
extremely easy to set up and consume as few resources as possible.
</li>
<li>
Is permissively licensed. <b>Telodendria</b> is licensed under a
modified MIT license, which imposes few restrictions on what you can do with
it.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Telodendria</b> is on Matrix! Check out the official Matrix rooms:

code as <code>man</code> pages, which contain all of the information

pages are also available online for convenience:
