- thomastjeffery 6y agoMatrix is the backend, Element (formerly named Riot) is a frontend.
- rakoo 6y agoAlmost: Matrix is the protocol, Synapse is the preferred backend
- m52go 6y agoMatrix is a protocol. Riot is the old name of the flagship apps built on the Matrix protocol by the core team. Element is the new name.
