Comment on Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet

I dont think cinny supports element-call either if i look at their changelogs from the last year.

That’s emberrassing, I misread people talking in an issue about an open pr (github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/pull/2599) with them talking about an existing feature. That pr does seem reasonably close to landing though.

Ooh nice to see, thanks for the link. Once all the major matrix clients support livekit, matrix will be much more recommendable imo. Element works okay, but it really is insanely bloated when you look at what other clients achieve with less than 1/10th of the application size.

Agree, not a big fan of element’s interface either. Imo the point where matrix will be widely recommendable is when matrix 2.0 is done and widely adopted. Stuff like sliding sync is really important too

To me the main issue right now is history sharing in encrypted rooms being non functional. At the moment when you invite someone new to an encrypted room, they wont be able to read the historic messages in it, even if you toggled that on. They are working on it and its probably not super far away, but currently you basically have to use unencrypted rooms if you want new people to be able to see old messages.
