Description
I was wondering if this python project would be a good starting point to write a bot that sits in an encrypted group chat and for every photo / video that is posted there, stores them to disk (which behind would be synced using syncthing, shared by members using syncting and served over the web by a nextcloud instance). This is for a family usecase as an alternative to WhatsApp and I realised some members were loosing time saving all the photos posted in the group chat one by one.
I have more skills in python than go so I don't know if I can ignore #21

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Matrix-NEB project and the referenced issue #21 to understand whether its plugin support can accommodate this request. The issue does not name files or tests; completion would require a defined approach for monitoring an encrypted group chat, downloading posted photos and videos, and storing them on disk.
