They ship a k8s operator that deploys Synapse, will try that later. Supposedly it's free up to 200 users. But it seems like there's 0 documentation past the README.
> Finally, cryptographic warnings are being eliminated. Historically, as end-to-end encryption was rolled out throughout Matrix, not all apps verified the identity of their users, triggering confusing and unactionable warnings to users. We are now shifting towards only letting devices whose ownership has been verified by their owner participate in conversations, killing those warnings - as well as other underlying pr…
In my experience, there was issues of lost/undecryptable messages also when you did backup/restore your keys. That was the annoying issue, I could not trust it.
yup. we're trying to regain that trust now, having fixed the bugs.
We have lift-off but we're not making it past the lower atmosphere ... Was the Android version flow-tested by anyone at all at element.io? When I tried registering a new account, it did not accept my handle. I guessed this because the handle text was red. But why it didn't like it I can't see because the little box with the error message is outside to the right of the screen (I guess there is a box because I see a li…
The registration flow on matrix.org was a last minute sprint to get something that works there, given we haven't finished the OIDC migration for matrix.org migration. It landed 4 days ago here: https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/pull/3467 and while we tried to QA it on a range of devices & OSes I'm not surprised we missed some. The good news is that it can be easily improved serverside given it's "just"…
How does one browse rooms on a server using Element X for Android?
browsing rooms is deliberately not implemented in Element X yet; it's intended more as an imessage/whatsapp style messenger - plus exposing the matrix.org room directory make appstore review & age-rating etc much more complicated.
FOSDEM is upon us, and finding the right room to follow the chat is going to be much harder with Element X. Ditto for LPC which just ended. It's OK, Element for Android is still here, but I hope you'll have a solution for small servers with a controlled number of room — but that would still need browsing on mobile.
I think many of these features are fantastic and Matrix 2.0 is a great set of features. However I think Element X is still missing quite a number of features for (my personal) daily use (e.g. spaces, threads and roomlist). Also it's not available for Intel-based Macs, which makes it unusable for many of my team members :(
I meant “room directory”, not “room list”. Can’t edit the comment anymore :(
We tried matrix and element a little while back and it had too many sharp corners. Now we use jabber. It also have some problems but we were able to workaround them. When we did our tests, messages would get dropped, arrive out of order, be impossible to decrypt, joining a room was slow (sometimes days), mobile notifications would be swallowed by the desktop client left running, webhook were hard... I don't want to s…
You can almost get something Matrix-like for XMPP employing OMEMO
