Originally, yes. But Synapse has ended up needing to support some massive deployments, and took quite a lot of inspiration from Dendrite in doing so.
Meanwhile, Dendrite has ended specialising on embedded small-form-factor servers (eg for P2P Matrix). So I suspect we’ll end up with both.

Me too. That’s basically the point of the whole post. Element X and the underlying tech is looking very promising though, and we’re betting the farm on it.

You can replace Jitsi with Element Call in Element Web/Desktop today by going into Labs on nightly or develop and turning all the flags on. It generally works well (but doesn’t use waterfall for a scalable SFU yet).

- Arathorn 4y agoIf you enable "new calling experience" in Labs on develop.element.io or Element Nightly, you should get the option to either select Jitsi or Element Call when starting a video conference in an existing room. (It's still beta though, and I just tried it and it was buggy, so there may still be work to be done there.)
- bilal4hmed 4y agoOn the synapse side of things, have yall seen a big performance difference when running it on python 3.11?
- Arathorn 4y agoyup, it’s a very noticable improvement - 15% or so.
