This is the smallest thing in the world but: in the screenshot on cinny.in: that's my chicken illustration! :D (Not my chicken, she belongs to https://www.instagram.com/chooks_in_town/ so I also put the illo on IG https://www.instagram.com/p/CRQETITJncO/)

More substantively: the look of this is so nice. My biggest complaint with element is UX around cross-signing (though I'd also switch in a heartbeat if someone hacked in voice messages somehow). How have you found all that to implement? (Totally fine if it's still on a roadmap, I'm just curious)

Link to the actual app https://app.cinny.in/login

__________

EDIT: Upon registration "Password must contain 1 number, 1 uppercase letters, 1 lowercase letters, 1 non-alpha numeric number, 8-16 characters with no space."

Not sure if that's a Matrix limitation or just javascript validation, but if it's on your end please don't do that... if anything you're enforcing less secure passwords.

__________

EDIT 2: Hitting reload on https://app.cinny.in/register leads to a 404

Note, some of that is a requirement by the Matrix protocol and is out of clients control. It's ultimately up to the server to configure different password requirements.

https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#notes-on-p...

> Clients SHOULD enforce that the password provided is suitably complex. The password SHOULD include a lower-case letter, an upper-case letter, a number and a symbol and be at a minimum 8 characters in length. Servers MAY reject weak passwords with an error code M_WEAK_PASSWORD.

Login link doesn't work either.

The max limit of 16 characters is odd.

As for the other requirements, it's just a matter of enabling various options in your password manager's generator. And if you're not using a password manager, it's very probable you're using/reusing insecure passwords.
