**This is the Construct** — the community's own Matrix server. It is designed

[WASM Virtual Machine](https://webassembly.org). Construct makes the chat room programmable.

to be fast and highly scalable, and to be developed by volunteer contributors
|

Applications govern all their basic functions. Everything from the appearance of a room as seen by

over the internet. This mission strives to make the software easy to understand,
|
||||||
users to some continuous-integration running in the background for developers

modify, audit, and extend. It remains true to its roots with its modular design

and having minimal requirements. Even though all of the old code has been
|
||||||
|
rewritten, the same spirit and philosophy of its predecessors is still obvious

Clients and servers implement a minimal ABI based on their capabilities while

the community at large builds all features as apps. A variety of apps have
|
|

already been created by developers for their own needs. Most choose to make
|
|
||||||
them available to the community, licensed as free software, so you can import
|
|
||||||
them and enrich your own rooms.
