WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Yes, eventually. Right now the sliding sync MSC is still in flux (e.g. we just realised today that it's missing an explicit flag to notify once the client has caught up with the server, rather than guessing via heuristics: https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-ios/issues/1269#issue...). As a result, the implementation (which is in golang) is being kept separate from Synapse for now while we iterate on it; plus it's a separate set of folks working on it. This also means that SS can be used with any existing server (dendrite, conduit etc) as needed.
It'll get added natively to Synapse eventually, but it'll likely be quite a way off.
> Can you already say something about encrypted search support in Element X?
It's planned, and should be way easier to do than on old Element given we can hook the clientside search indexer (https://github.com/matrix-org/seshat), which happens to be in Rust, directly into matrix-rust-sdk and thence both EIX and EAX. Whereas previously we'd have had to do custom integs with Seshat on EI and EA like the current one on Element Desktop, which just becomes a maintenance nightmare. Hopefully should be ready in the next months.
> Also since you mentioned it, is multiaccount support something that we can realistically expect to see in Element X someday (maybe even in a v1.0?). If I remember correctly for the previous iterations of the clients the status was mostly "maybe one day" or "the architecture does not really support it".
Definitely. We actually had it pre-Element in Matrix Console, and then it got lost in Element. The hope is to get it into Element X relatively early.
