> But notification channels are a harder sell, and missing avatars on notifications is just annoying. huh. on Element X iOS, the notif support is genuinely great - you get avatars and groupings and reliable notifs on e2ee msgs. the only thing is missing is quick-reply (which has been blocked behind full multi-process support in matrix-rust-sdk, hopefully coming soon). I'd assumed that Element X Android would be the same; if not, it's an omission and will get fixed.

> I'd assumed that Element X Android would be the same; if not, it's an omission and will get fixed. Aren't you Element's CTO? I feel like you shouldn't need to make assumptions into how the app works, you should just know (even if you're not personally daily driving it). If not you, is anyone in charge of ensuring that the project's vision and goals are met?

  yup, i'm the CTO, and I don't have notifs enabled on Android and so hadn't checked - I daily-drive iOS. The folks "in charge of ensuring the project's vision and goals are met" are the ones running the Element X team - sorry that I haven't memorised the full feature parity matrix :) Sounds like https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/1547 https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/1547 is the bug for you to upvote & subscribe to.

      Good job penalizing this project lead of an ambitious open source project for his engagement with the community. Obviously, needless dicklike comments can only help the project and its users.

I’m in south east Asia and I have a lot of friends using matrix but the whole is unbearably slow to me. Most of the time it takes more than 10 seconds to sync and messages don’t go through. I’d be happy to look at the infra to see what’s happening though. It’s also what breaks my notifications on iOS.

  Are you using matrix.org? Maybe you could try a server closer to you?

  I had that problem a couple versions ago.. turns out one table in the postgres DB, I think 'devices..' something got be like 50 GB and I could never get it widdled down even with manual vacuums and such, I think the newer version of matrix handles cleaning that table better, but I'd need to login a check, it's been a while. Given that the DB gets so big I had to bit the bullet and move from spinning HDs to SSDs on my latest install. Make a big difference at the beginning of course, the DB had not ballooned yet.

Element X has a few notification issues on Android (I use it daily): you don't get quick reply (which can be fixed by adding conversation shortcuts in Android), and you get a notification for every single message. Element X doesn't stack up the notifications, so if someone floods you 20 lines of text in less than 10 seconds, your phone will vibrate 20 times in under 10 seconds. It's quite annoying.
