Nitpick (just at the beginning because it's the first thing i faced when trying
to compile): It would be nicer if you would use the feature_summary better,
i.e. don't mark things required in the find_package level but on the
set_package_properties level. so i get a nice summary with all the things i'm
missing the first time i try instead of having to run cmake N times until i
install everything.
I tried to login to https://webchat.kde.org (which doesn't seem to be the
correct url i have to use i guess) and i got "no feedback at all" that things
were failing. I can even press the Login more times in what seems to be
spawning more connection attempts. I've since learnt that
https://kde.modular.im is the correct url to use.
I tried to login to https://matrix.org and then got a notification that
something was wrong (i was using kde's server credentials) but the notification
went away before i could read it. Seems not a very nice UI to hide important
error messages before i can read them.
If i use "https://kde.modular.im " (<- notice the space at the end) as server
to connect to, nothing happens, no error, no nothing, either automatically
remove trailing spaces or at least tell me "you stupid user fix your url"
The chat window uses the wrong background colors, gray is not the background
color my theme uses for text areas, it's white.
"Room setting" in the sidebar should be "Room settings"?
If i'm in a channel and press settings, then accounts, then explore rooms, it
think it makes no sense UI wise that the top bar < doesn't bring me directly to
the channel and instead has me go to accounts and settings first.
If i'm in about neochat, i don't think the top bar should still have the "open
this channel sidebar" on top right, i'm not really on a channel right now.
Speaking about that "open this channel sidebar" on top right, it could really
use a tooltip, the icon is not really that obvious the first time you click it
it's like hoping it's not the kill everyone button :)
I am not sure how i did it (i think i was loging in and login out again) but i
ended up with two panels https://i.imgur.com/2ot4ROY.png
The first time you login, the chat sorting is all weird, see
https://i.imgur.com/2ot4ROY.png (ignore the right panel), there groups, then
direct messages, then groups again on the left panel
There seems to be some issue with text wrapping, see how
https://i.imgur.com/2NsTx3X.png gets turns into https://i.imgur.com/TePoCAx.png
(the black on the right is the window behind neochat)
In the room settings having Save not be at the end of the layout is weird
In the room settings, what's Canonical Alias, i have an empty non editable
combobox, what am i supposed to do with it?
The room settings title label escapes it's "window" see

You're leaking m_settings in EmojiModel, i'd suggest just turning it into a
QSettings instead of a QSettings *
