    Hi,

    Do you mean a client for the Telegram network ?

      There's several chat examples in Qt docs:

      • http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebsockets-simplechat-example.html
      • http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebchannel-chatserver-cpp-example.html
      • http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtnetwork-network-chat-example.html

      They're probably mainly about demonstrating Qt's network support for such things (looks like they're all-C++ apps; no QML).

      Does the world really need yet another chat app though? :^)

        How many user do you expect ?
        What kind of hardware are you targetting ?

            Then you will likely also be interested in KDE's Telepathy.

                This application already support a wide range of chat services and technologies. You can take some inspiration from it. However as @timday wrote, do you really need to write yet another chat application ?

                Shouldn't you rather provide a server for your customer so they can connect to it with their usual clients.

                  @SGaist i do agree that there might not be a need for another chat application . So what exactly i want to do is / they want is a their own client .

                  So yeah i guess providing a server approach also seems right to me . Just my own server for chat app . Can you list me some chat clients that i can look into . Like you said telegraphy is one of them but i can' use it just like that .

                    Konversation is an IRC chat client
                    Kopete is an older multi-service chat client.
