  I know. Around the time I did the first bought of development on it matrix decided they were going to become element which was going to free up the name. They decided to keep both. I’m at a loss for a good name that describes that posts have position. That the posts exist in a matrix makes sense to me. I have plans to run a poll on a name change. I know I could always do something completely random. Like Lemmy. That doesn’t tell you what it does at all. But my particular brand of creativity makes me want to name things functionally. And Matrix is just so freaking perfect for what it is. All the other similar options are way too nerdy. Latent, vector. I just need to get down with the truly random.

    Matrix is the messaging protocol. Element is the chat app built on the Matrix protocol. It was originally named RIOT.IM. They changed the messengers name from Riot to Element, the name Matrix was never going to be changed, mostly because those are separate things. They dropped the name to avoid litigation from Riot Games.

    Matrix is a framework that has multiple chat applications, Element was just one of them.

    That’s not right Matrix was never going to become Element.

      Well I screwed up. The other reason why I didn’t worry too much about it is it was at one stage it was just an internal project name and I kept working on it. Yeah, figuring out the right name for it is a step I should do quickly.

      Ok. That will be a candidate for the name change.

        Clear what you’re referencing, IMO flows nicely and AFAIK (IANAL) isn’t a trademark
