## Description

Cinny is a decentralized chat interface and web client designed for the Matrix protocol. It serves as a front-end application that enables users to send and receive secure messages and engage in group conversations across a federated messaging network.

The application is built as a static web application, allowing it to be deployed as static files or hosted within Docker containers. This structure supports self-hosted chat infrastructure where users maintain control over their communication data.

The interface provides tools for real-time team communication, including the ability to organize chat conversations by separating direct messages from group channels.
