  Proposals for changes to the matrix specification

  

  Yup. One of the biggest learnings of E2EE in Matrix is that the complexity is 95% user experience. However, in Element X, we've been determined to get it right - although there is still some temporary UX in there while full-blown Invisible Crypto is still rolling out (as it requires a breaking change to stop encrypting/decrypting with unsigned devices - the equivalent to a browser refusing to talk TLS to self-signed certs).

  If you haven't seen MSC4161 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/and...) i highly recommend it as evidence of how we've made a serious effort to fix the terminology and copy - not just for Element X but across all Matrix clients.

  8 1,104 10.0 Kotlin

  Android Matrix messenger application using the Matrix Rust Sdk and Jetpack Compose

  

  yup, i'm the CTO, and I don't have notifs enabled on Android and so hadn't checked - I daily-drive iOS. The folks "in charge of ensuring the project's vision and goals are met" are the ones running the Element X team - sorry that I haven't memorised the full feature parity matrix :) Sounds like https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/1547 is the bug for you to upvote & subscribe to.

  2,757 99,130 10.0 Rust

  Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  

  So I did a catalyst build of EX a while back (which is where https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106021 came from) - but rather anticlimactically the end result looked almost identical to the normal iOS app when running under macOS; I don't remember the sidebar/toolbar looking particularly better, and that was my main reason for doing the build in the first place (to get a flexibly resizable left toolbar). The main advantage seemed to be that it would run on Intel.

  If things have improved I'd love to know, and then perhaps we'll have another shot at it. Are there any good comparison screenshots of the two approaches (with a toy app, i guess) anywhere?

• element-x-ios

  14 437 9.9 Swift

  Next generation Matrix client for iOS built with SwiftUI on top of matrix-rust-sdk.

  

  That's ended up becoming a global setting, which merged a few days ago (https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/pull/3467) so hasn't been released yet. We're catching up on features as rapidly as possible - meanwhile i'm surprised that the advantages of the new app donn't completely blow away the old one.

  A non-exhaustive collection of third-party clients and mods for Discord.

  

  I'm not sure I'd call Discord a walled garden. Officially, it is a walled garden, sure, but there's a huge variety of different clients you can use [0]. Not every client supports every feature but Matrix clients are no different in this aspect. The API Discord's official client uses is fairly well-documented, too [1].
