Those are minor growing pains, and irrelevant when compared to the nightmare of navigating fifty independent slack instances or convincing an entire group to move their communication onto a private solution. For me matrix has been absolutely transformative. It's letting us grow our project's realtime communication without bounds. Because it's open and federated, without the political baggage of tools like Signal or the ancient cruft of IRC, we can convince anyone to meet us there. There are almost no impediments to it's use. The clunkiness is very minor. Although they may lack some subtle UI polish, the tools don't crash and work more than well enough. I'm looking forward to when the world meets on matrix.
- lxgr 6y ago> Those are minor growing pains In my experience, neglecting the onboarding experience is a cardinal sin for any project challenging some incumbent. I‘ve been struggling with understanding what Element wants from me when signing up or signing in on a new device. Unfortunately I can‘t, in good conscience, recommend this to less technically knowledgeable friends and family.
