oh this is huge. and right in time for the slack acquisition !
gitter fixes one of the biggest issues with matrix - the product/ux/ui.
one thing im not sure of is the conscious decision to deprecate mobile apps and instead recommend mobile web. https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/issues/2281 https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/issues/2281
is that a strategic decision ? because this wont be a pleasant experience is potentially a massive blocker for any type of serious usage.
- Arathorn 6y agoWe're not recommending mobile web; rather than replacing the native Gitter mobile apps with the Gitter mobile webapp, we're instead recommending folks move to native Matrix mobile clients like Element (or mobile web Matrix clients like Hydrogen, if they prefer).
- sandGorgon 6y agowell you do https://gitter.im/apps https://gitter.im/apps >The dedicated Android/iOS apps are no longer recommended and may be officially deprecated in the future. For mobile, we recommend using the mobile web version in your browser.Our efforts are focused on the webapp which is the backbone of the mobile/desktop apps but mainly focused on the web experience. There are a number of bugs in these desktop/mobile clients and they spread the Gitter team too thin for us to give them proper attention. The apps are open-source if you want to tackle something particularly annoying to you. (desktop, iOS, Android)
- Arathorn 6y agoThat needs to be updated then!
