#72So looking at the site, this seems to be only client code? If nothing needs to be installed or run on a server, then this will be huge! Looking forward to trying this out later today. Nice work!
this is just a client for the matrix protocol.
There are several server implementations

#73When will we get native, beautiful, and fast Matrix clients? I am very tired of Electron and web applications, I want a snappy experience for once. Please.
Like an old engineering mantra, "I can give you 2 out of 3"...Jokes aside, the matrix.org website does have a nice page listing the different clients (that they at least know about), and its nicely broken up into sections for mobile, desktop, terminal, and even nintendo (!). There are a number of native clients and some (e.g. nheko, quaternion) i have unscientifically found to be very fast...as far as beautiful, well, i think it would be best to leave that to you as your opinion. Here's the client list page that i referenced above:

I hope that helps!

#74So dumb question about Matrix.. any long-time IRCers use it? How did you make the transition? Is it straight forward to use weechat with it? If you abandoned the irc client, is it easy to keep personal logs?
> ...any long-time IRCers use it?
If it is any consolation, Mozilla (yes, that Mozilla!) moved over from irc to matrix back in 2020 if i recall correctly. So, i imagine that would represent a large-ish number of irc users, and many likely had been using irc for quite some time now. See: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/synchronous-messaging-at-moz... and https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC
