# Instant messaging documentation - by Tykayn
=========
here is detailed the progress and the state of wondering.
By now, the IM (Instant messaging) aims to be a simple frontend over the direct message structure.
## what is done
The IM is able to
* list followed accounts by the user
* retrieving contacts from the DB
* talk one to one with an account
* the input is a simplified compose form, it has predefined settings to have only one recipient. It uses the same mecanism than the compose form to send a private / direct message to somebody. other mentions of persons are not yet recognised.
# TODO
## Work in progress
* open a new conversation when we click on an account in the contact list
## Research
find how it is already done to:
* retrieve contacts
* retrieve a conversation
* subscribe to the new messages of a conversation
* send a direct message
* display a page with the routing system
## Paths to explore, reflexions
I would like ideally the IM to be able to:
* send pictures just like in normal messages
* be end to end encrypted
* be able to be a bridge with some other messaging, like Matrix does with IRC and a lot of other.
