That's why you point users to Riot.im instead...
Seriously, you don't expose end users to platform-level infrastructure. Matrix audience is software engineers, so it's good that matrix.org is dedicated to explain itself to developers. The tools you build on top of it, those are the ones you show to end users.
- notyourday 8y agoOh so the users also need to know that when they hear Matrix, it means people are talking about Riot! Compare: https://telegram.org/ https://telegram.org/ with https://matrix.org/blog/home/ https://matrix.org/blog/home/ Where is a link to the app store for Riot? Where is the link to the website? Why do I get a table of "yes/no/kinda" when I click on "Clients"? This project will will become another IRC -- cute but irrelevant.
- Animats 8y agoIRC has active users. I have, or had, a Disapora account. Nobody to talk to. I have an OpenID. No service I use still accepts it. The home page of Matrix has to provide a convincing argument that Matrix is worth more attention than Mastodon or GNU Social.
- TuringTest 8y agoWhat's wrong with the link " Try Matrix Now / Get Chatting ", right below "Welcome to Matrix / Learn more"? https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html
