• Synapse

  367 11,720 9.8 Python

  Discontinued Synapse: Matrix homeserver written in Python/Twisted.

  

Initially I started with Matrix-Synapse. The toughest part was figuring out how to setup a subdomain to host my matrix server on, while still being able to point users to the main domain when they sign-up. (@user:example.com instead of @user:matrix.example.com). Once I figured out how delegation worked with a reverse proxy I got it working and figured id try dendrite. Dendrite is the second generation matrix server written in Go and it I think its configuration is easier and its footprint is smaller than matrix-synapse. However since its still a work in progress and its in beta stages some features aren't implemented and there were a few hiccups that made me switch back to matrix-synapse. So when dendrite is good to go I'll definitely be switching to that.

  A glossy Matrix collaboration client for the web.

  

Matrix clients hit different than pretty much any other chat client I've use before. Theres multiple clients I've found like nheko, moments, element that are a pleasure to look at and smooth as hell. Even better you can have users use web services like Element Web to sign-up and chat. Its sick.
