Not the guy you replied to, but I'd had my eye on Conduit for a while--after going deep down the rabbit hole dealing with Synapse, I'd given up on self-hosting Matrix for the time being and waiting for Conduit or something similar to get far enough along. After seeing the announcement, went and got it deployed out in like an hour (would've been less but I spent 45 minutes compiling because I'm running FreeBSD). The whole process was super easy. I'll have to play a bit more tomorrow--if I can figure out how to get stickers or something working I can probably convince at least my wife to move our conversations off of Telegram.
