Improve the Fractal UI (A GTK Matrix client)

About the project:

• Fractal is a Matrix client written in rust and GTK. It is in a quite early state but has already enough functionality for day-to-day use.
  
  Core objectives for my project are:

  • Add spell check to Fractal.
  • Add UI for changing a users profile inside Fractal.
  • Improve the overall user experience.
  • Improve the user mentioning.
  • Improve the messages history.

About me:

• I'm Julian Sparber. I use GNOME already for more then 10 years, but since last year I actively contribute to GNOME, and some other free software projects.
  This summer I'm at the end of my first year of a master degree program in computer science at the University of Bologna.
