ElementX is *so* much faster than the current stable versions of Element and its various soft forks (I'm currently using SchildiChat).

As I've said before, I'm guessing it will take another 6-12 months for all the Matrix 2.0 upgrades to be rolled out and fully stabilized in the various app and server software. But if ElementX performance is anything to go by, the new and improved Matrix ecosystem will be well worth an open-minded test.

"Honestly, it is insanely exciting to see Matrix having evolved from the 'good enough for enthusiastic geeks' to the 'wow, this feels better than Signal' phase that we’re entering now. Meanwhile, matrix-rust-sdk is tracking all the latest Matrix 2.0 work, so any client built on matrix-rust-sdk (Fractal, Element X, iamb, etc) can benefit from it immediately."

Some neat updates to https://we2.ee, the encrypted messenger for the people—

· short profile links: we2.ee/@user (when char # counts)

· snappier #Matrix2.0 support w/ sliding sync

· txt.we2.ee for #secure self-destructing text

· #GDPR compliant #privacy policy

@matrix is going through another wobbly period, when the UX gets a bit unreliable. I'm guessing it's to do with all the big changes being made for Matrix 2.0, and the work on DMA-mandated interop?

Last time Matrix got wobbly was when the core team were working on RiotX and rebranding to @element. Things settled down a *lot* after that, and the UX became much smoother. Fingers crossed that the same will happen again.
