A good and robust bot api and useful smart widgets based on url are a must. I've had chats go from discord to matrix and then simply die after a few days.

- Arathorn 5y agoMatrix's bot support should be excellent? It's arguably more robust than Discord's given it's an open API and there are tonnes of SDKs and bots building on it: https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-bot-sdk https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-bot-sdk, https://matrix.org/docs/guides/usage-of-matrix-bot-sdk https://matrix.org/docs/guides/usage-of-matrix-bot-sdk, https://github.com/bnjbvr/botzilla https://github.com/bnjbvr/botzilla, etc. What do you mean by 'smart widgets based on url'?
- hparadiz 5y agoThings like Spotify links turning into an embed widget. I've used the bots api for slack and discord in a corporate environment. Compared to that the matrix api is horribly behind and unreliable.
- Arathorn 5y agothanks; filed https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/17396 https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/17396 for widgets. Not sure what problems you're seeing with the Matrix API; it's lightyears ahead of Slack & Discord in my experience, but I guess i may be getting high on my own supply...
