What about Matrix?
- rodlette 3y agoI've tried a few times. It always felt... clunky? I tried Element. UI felt slow, I was unable to find notifications in scrollback. Clicking the notification button would take me to random messages.
- fsflover 3y agoThere are very many clients lighter than Element.
- rodlette 3y agoI remembered another issue with Matrix. Signal and XMPP (via Quickly) have a simple phone number based signup workflow that my family have grown used to. My family are not happy on having to remember/use passwords/keys. That's a shame, but is ultimately a constraint I have to deal with when persuading them to install/use an IM app.
- rodlette 3y agoReplying to myself... looks like some Matrix homeservers support OpenID-style login. That's probably fine for family.
