Yeah, I really like the new layout of Element on iOS. On desktop I use gomuks and love the crap out of it. You know, I probably should get more involved with sharing my feedback or contributing to the codebase where I can so the devs have another data point.

  Gomuks is great, yeah. I just wish it had more detailed picture rendering (e.g. sixel or kitty rendering) for terminals that support it.

Hmm, I actually liked group chats and 1:1 chats being in different tabs even on mobile (though I use the web view much more often). It makes it much easier to find people chats which I find much more important in general. Indeed they sometimes end up in the wrong place but I use the tagmanager to fix it. It would be nice if you could keep an option to switch this back on. One of the features that does cause confusion for me though is Spaces. Some of my bridges (the whatsapp one in particular) took it upon themselves to put their messages in a separate space, which always has me hunting around for messages, I prefer having all my chats in the same place regardless of what bridge it came from. That was my #1 reason to use Matrix: To have everything in one place. I keep deleting the Whatsapp space but the bridge puts it back. It's a nice idea but only if I can set it up the way I want to. Anyway I will see where you go with this, at least Matrix is a fully open ecosystem where I can always use the client I wish. Still looking for a nice high-density IRC-like desktop client too (the Xchat mode is nice but my main issue is with the chat list that is not compact enough, and it doesn't fix that). But anyway I'll find something. I know it's difficult to please everyone and it is probably a good idea to target the mainstream like you're doing.
