When is the kickass Riot UI remaster that y'all showed off at Web3 coming to town?

It's already released, as of a few weeks ago.

Only Riot Web though :(

Riot (both web and mobile) desperately needs to make room and user search more obvious. Everyone I give Riot to has issues finding me and my channels. I get around this by asking their usernames and sending invites to the right channels.

I hear about Matrix a lot, but I have no idea why I should use it. Can anyone explain why I should use Matrix?

I had a pretty positive view of Matrix until I came across this post and the follow up responses from the developer behind an unofficial Matrix server implementation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19365968

I'd say tread carefully given their apparent hostility towards competing server implementations, which is literally the only thing that makes the protocol meaningfully "federated" to begin with.

This part in particular was deeply disturbing:

> I can quote the CEO of new vector in an argument we had about the insecurities of the protocol and what needs to be done to fix them where he said "good luck talking to your own federation." That reveals a lot.

Not exactly the kind of attitude I'd like to see from the stewards of an "open" protocol.

This part in…

I would be interested in knowing whether anyone else has confirmed these accusations or created a writeup as to why the protocol is insecure.

I don't know about Matrix, but Riot, the default frontend, certainly isn't: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/7062 Copy/paste is a pretty fundamental feature.
