- junon 6y agoI was designing something similar to Matrix at one point several years back. The different names confused even myself when I was dabbling into Matrix. Matrix is cool, there's no doubt. The packaging is terrible, IMO. They really need a product manager.
- anticensor 6y agoDo you have any links to share?
- junon 6y agoNah unfortunately not. I tabled that project a long time ago.
- dsr_ 6y agoThere are a bunch of people who think that their mail system is named Thunderbird.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoThis is the thing about multiclient protocols. You don't look for SMTP in the app store either :) The whole point is having multiple clients so they can't all have the same name. Having said that, the 'default' app constantly changing their name (Vector -> Riot -> Element) is super annoying. I thought Riot was a stupid name (living in a city that regularly sees riots), but don't really get what was wrong with Vector in the first place :P
- ekianjo 6y ago> client app doesn't have the same name it is not that hard to understand.
