- julianlam 6y agoI've found that element.io itself is really slow to load. That said, we're pushing up against the limits of our free plan with Slack and will likely deploy a matrix server in due course.
- xfalcox 6y agoThe good thing about that is that if you want a fast client there are quite a few native clients to pick. https://matrix.org/clients/ https://matrix.org/clients/ For example, Mirage is Python/QT and quite fast in my experience. There are Rust clients, C++ clients, terminal based ones, etc.
- Shared404 6y agoDo you happen to know of any desktop clients that support encryption/cross-signing? I'd like to get off of Element desktop/web for a couple of reasons, but I need those features. I'd help implement them myself, but that's beyond my skill level. Edit: For anyone else wondering, matrix-commander [0] looks like it may be workable if a cli tool is acceptable for your usecase.
