Element has a new home and will be adopting AGPL license for Synapse, Dendrite and associated server side projects.
"Future code contributors to Synapse will need to sign a contributor license agreement (CLA) based on the Apache Software Foundation’s CLA, giving Element ownership of their contribution so we can use it to help fund Matrix core development in future."
I was hoping my #Matrix experience would be better after setting up my own #Synapse and #Element servers, but I think it's worse. It takes 10-15+ minutes to join a room that's on another server.
I really want Matrix to be the federated chat platform that #OpenSource communities (and others) can move to, but we need to somehow solve these latency problems.
Nachdem ich sicherheitshalber in Signal die URL-Vorschau abgeschaltet hatte, wollte ich vorsichtshalber dasselbe in #Element tun. Dabei habe ich mir einen Wolf gesucht und musste eine Weile im Internet recherchieren, weil ich diese Einstellung nicht unter „Mediendateien“ erwartet hätte.
PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS. I am looking for a React-capable, full-stack developer who would like to lead a new fork of #Element.io. The existing forks are simply not very aggressive, and there is a massive void for a project that is. I am confident that a few new features and some better documentation will make it very popular, very fast. #developers#FOSS#matrix
Nå er element x ute av beta!!! Dette er vist starten på det som skal bli MATRIX 2.0, og jeg er spent. For om element x er representabelt for hva som kommer, så er jeg med! 🤯
For å forklare! Element x appen løser mange av problemene den originale appen er kjent for å ha. Den har nå super rask synkronisering og super responsiv app.
To be honest: Even after the response, the original article – and my own experience with Matrix & Element – leaves me wondering whether Matrix is really the way to go, and whether these issues can ever be solved.
Ist zuallererst ein Matrix-Server welcher vom Luki e.V. zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich aber die mobile Apps von Synod.im. Diese sind ein Fork der Element-App, bereinigt von Trackern und mit einem Altersrating, was es auch Jugendlichen ermöglicht, die App zu installieren.
This week has been pretty busy at work. Hopefully it has resulted in absolutely awesome results!
✨ Cold start up time for Element X Android has significantly improved from 3-4sec to 100-150ms for accounts with 1000, 2000 or even 4000 rooms (≈30x speed up). That’s awesome! ✨
I’ll explain tomorrow how we did that. Async Rust and immutable data types simply rock.
Da har element kommet ut med en alternativ app som heter element x. Den har en annen layout og er i beta-utgave. Fokuset på denne appen er å være super responsiv. Virker veldig bra, og har boble-chat.
Bloble-chat og layouten som er der, er dét jeg har slått på i instillingene for vanlig element for tiden. Så det er ganske så sikkert at element x blir den nye matrix appen min.
After iOS, Element X beta is now available on Android. Go rush it, break the app, report bugs, let's all get fun together! Oh, and it's extremely fast, don't be surprised.
My son friends and their parents recently joined @element with their Android phones.
Two of them created accounts with the Google SSO support, but when they joined a encrypted room - the top of the app was filled with a warning about "key backup", when clicked - nothing happens.
Have anyone else noticed this bug?
Kinda annoying and not a good onboarding experience for new users :/
