What use cases? We are still in the "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" phase, which might end before anything of value is found (if previous fads serve as a lesson here).

Oh, so now that's because the US is overextended... Then it's formidable that you think they are doing something good and significant about it, because nobody's convinced.

There's conduit as an alternative implementation in rust, but Matrix being what it is, you won't be able to use the newer clients with it, and federation will be glitchy. This ecosystem of a single vendor deciding the fate of the

Last I checked, zulip doesn't "federate"? I suspect this is a bigger deal for people who landed with Matrix than just "open source rooms with pretty UI" (rocket chat, mattermost, revolt, .. the alternatives there ar

Don't worry, this is just more deceptive promises for gullible optimists. The people who started Matrix have now spent a whole decade unable to fix those performance issues. The complexity is algorithmic and built into the design. Coun

I'm sure the irony isn't lost on Matrix Devs who were so hasty to diminish and criticize previous art. Perhaps they could soon develop an extensible version of the Matrix protocol and spec, and call it something like eXtensible Ma

Oh, sure! You won't hear me say that no progress at all was accomplished over the past 20 years :-) What's clear to me though is that we are well beyond the point of diminishing returns. The footprint is the very physical limiting

Practically, Django's admin *becomes* the SQLite UI editor you are referring to, I suspect. Starting with it, the amount of UI code, backend code or SQL code to be written becomes a matter of how far you want to stretch the PoC in eith

Thanks, that's a valid point. I have never thought of publishing a PoC web app as more than pushing some files on a server and editing a config file, but now I see how not everyone can be familiar with that.
