FedCM VS matrix-js-sdk

Some federated identity protocols, including SAML, depend on third party cookies. I've been watching the Federated Identity W3C community group work through some of the issues for a couple of years.

You all might be interested in checking out their GH repo: https://github.com/fedidcg/FedCM

Some of us are proactively working on this problem [1]. Not trivial, but I think we are making forward progress to reconcile and mediate login in browser UX.

That's precisely where I've been using them the most :)

Not for everybody, I agree, but it is kinda of ironic that you mentioned "may be like an IETF proposal." :)

Also, technical blog posts, e.g.

Has support for IndieAuth and/or FedCM (when stable enough) been considered?

I'd quite like some more high level documentation for the Matrix JS SDK (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk). I've been looking at it for quite some time and still don't understand how timelines work.

Currently we don't force TURN, so in practice this means that voice packets go direct between the clients if possible, and so the IP addresses of the clients are necessarily exposed to each other.

However, this is utterly trivial to fix: matrix-js-sdk already exposes https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/blob/96ba061732b... and we simply haven't exposed it as a setting in Element Call yet. I've filed a bug for it at https://github.com/vector-im/element-call/issues/251 - thanks for bringing it up!

In terms of moderation: this is no different to moderation in Matrix as a whole, where we're already busy working on shared greylists (MSC2313 and friends) - https://matrix.org/blog/2020/10/19/combating-abuse-in-matrix... has more details at the end.

We expect to turn it on in the next few weeks - the problem we were debugging that we meant it was turned off looks to be fixed. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/2002 is the PR that will need to merge to enable it ftr.

Unlike any open source projects to which I've contributed, this project involves 2 other repos, matrix-react-sdk and matrix-js-sdk. As explained in the Development guide in the element-web repo, I need those 2 SDKs in order to build Element successfully for code contribution.
