Matrix really does seem like the ideal future platform to build on, I've started poking around it and really like what I see. Does anyone with more experience want to chime in on what they've found using it?
- tryptophan 6y agoIt has the best protocol I'd say, but other than that everything else is worse. All the clients suck, features are missing/buggy, nobody is sure if it is supposed to be a discord/slack or whataspp replacement, giving a half-ass implementation of both, and confusing to users security stuff(asks random users about their keys). That being said, I still love the project and hope they sort out their UX problems.
- thekyle 6y agoI really like the idea of Matrix, but in practice I don't have anyone to use it with. At least with Signal the on-boarding experience is super low friction, so I can just tell someone "message me on Signal" and they'll figure it out. Matrix on-boarding is more complicated and would probably require hand holding through which client and server to use.
- robjan 6y agoI don't think matrix can scale to hundreds of thousands of users in one channel at the moment.
